The rooms are small and old. The door would not lock. The shades on the window windows had to be forced to come down. The valet parking was terrible, with a rude attendant.

Don’t expect a ‘real’ sea view

Biggest disappointment was the sliver of ‘sea view’. The company has now built a new building in front of the original hotel almost completely blocking the sea view. You should amend your description.

Love this hotel. The only bummer was not being given the room we paid for. Thankfully they rectified the issue even though it seemed like they didn’t want to.
