My stay at the hotel was just what I needed! The location was perfect, right in front of the beach and within walking distance of some nice restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and having a small kitchen was super useful. However, the noise from the nearby train railroad was a bit bothersome. Overall, a great value for money.
