i found the location very convenient, close to the pier and beach.. the check-in was easy, and the staff were friendly and helpful. the room was clean, and the shower was really good.. i was happy everything worked well.
the bedding felt a bit thin and cheap for the price, and the pillows were foam, which wasn't my preference, i would have liked a comforter and down pillows.

The location provided easy access to various shops and restaurants. The provided beds were supremely comfortable.
The bathroom sink drained rather slowly. This made washing up somewhat inconvenient. Also the noise from adjacent rooms was noticeable at times. I could hear conversations next door.
