I had a great stay at this hotel. It looked nice and cozy, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The location is a big plus—just a short walk to both the city center and the beach, making it super convenient whether you’re looking to explore or relax. Overall, it’s a good place to stay if you want comfort and a great location.
