Clean and Comfortable

The hotel was clean and comfortable. It is well located with a short walk to attractions and restaurants. The only negative was that the hotel has freestanding air conditioning units that were somewhat noisy and finicky to adjust.

Nice and clean, friendly stuff. Espresso machine in the lobby is like an added bonus. The only thing negative about this hotel is the breakfast area is extremely small, 4 tables for 4 sits each. You can have your breakfast outside or in the lobby, but that's a walk with all your plates from one end of the building to another.

Fresh fruit at breakfast was the highlight!

Breakfast was amazing because of all the fresh fruit. We also enjoyed the coffee machine in the lobby. Cappuccinos were fantastic, with lots of other options including hot chocolate. Nice location with grocery store etc. Around but still just a 10 minite walk to the water.
