Nice short stay to celebrate my husbands birthday.
Pros:

Very central position and easy to reach the promenade

Cons:

Unfortunately there was only a shower over the bath. Owing to our age and mobility issues we could not use. We had been told that our type of room did not have a walk in shower but not advised which room had.

I would think twice before booking with them again
Pros:

I liked the location with lots of options on restaurants, shops, nature, and transportation. Breakfast had lots of options, it was tasteful, and fresh every morning. Restaurant staff were great and welcoming!

Cons:

Very few staff were pleasant and welcoming. Shout out to Tonya (reception) and all the staff from the breakfast area.
The room didn't have refrigerator nor bottle of water. The room decoration needs some updates, but beds were agreeable. I expected better reception for paying my stay one year in advance of my stay. Lesson learned.
