Categories

Cleanliness
7.4
Mixed: several guests report very clean, large rooms, but multiple comments note the property is older, in need of refurbishment and issues like empty soap dispensers and limited toiletries.
Service
8.6
Generally positive: many mentions of friendly, helpful and accommodating staff at front desk; however there are isolated but serious negatives (reservation cancellation and a reported rude receptionist) that lower the score slightly.
Location
9.2
Strongly positive: repeatedly noted as easy to find, great location close to the beach/center, with a breakfast room offering good views and convenient access to local attractions.
Room Quality
8.3
Positive overall: rooms described as spacious, comfortable and with good bathrooms; some guests report firm or worn beds and small issues with lighting compared to photos.
Amenities
7.9
Mixed: good on-site amenities such as breakfast, evening dining/bar area and guest grill/picnic table, but parking is not free (street meters) and some guest-room amenity problems were reported (empty soap dispenser).
Value for Money
8.5
Generally positive: several guests praise excellent prices and good quality for the cost; a few find it costly but still comfortable — overall good perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Strong: breakfast is repeatedly described as delicious, substantial and made-from-scratch style with good variety and views; occasional service timing issues (late opening, cold items) noted.
Overall Experience
6.8
Mixed overall: many guests report pleasant stays (clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, great breakfast and location), but a very negative incident involving a cancelled reservation and other recurring minor issues reduce the overall score.

Pros:

The room was comfortable and pretty big. I really appreciated the 12 pm check out to not have to rush. The breakfast was really good, it felt like it was made from scratch. Not the typical continental breakfast.
