It was a great stay overall. Friendly and helpful staff. But you guys really need to consider installing an elevator, it’s very inconvenient going up and down with heavy luggage.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, it was ok. The location is fantastic—close to many attractions, restaurants, and beach, making it very convenient to get around. The room was comfortable, but it could use some upgrades and better maintenance. Some furniture and fixtures appeared a bit worn, and the cleanliness could have been improved in certain areas. The jet tub was not working. Despite these minor issues, the reception staff when we checked in was not friendly and not very helpful. Overall im giving this 3 star because of the location and ambiance of the place. With some renovations and attention to detail, this hotel could be an excellent choice for travelers. Would I stay again? Possibly, if improvements are made, especially regarding the room quality.
