My stay at the hotel was quite interesting. On the upside, the location can't be beat—it's super convenient being so close to the beach and plenty of restaurants. However, the room I had was a bit of a let-down with cleanliness issues, making it less comfortable than I’d hoped. The service was friendly for the most part, but there were a couple of hiccups. Overall, it's a decent place but definitely not without its flaws.
