Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has an excellent location just a block from the beach and right near the Casino, making it super convenient. However, the room situation was a bit of an issue for me, as I ended up with a small double when I expected a triple. The service wasn't the friendliest either, particularly when I tried to address the room mix-up. Overall, it has great potential due to its prime location, but I felt that some aspects could use improvement.
Overall, my stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, just a block from the beach and super convenient to nearby attractions. While my room was clean, it was definitely smaller than expected and not ideal for three people. The service was polite but the front desk experience could have been better. Although the dining options weren't the best, the price offered great value for what I got.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was perfect, just a block from the beach and close to shops and the casino, the rooms were quite dark and not very pleasant due to the previous guest's smoking. The service could have been warmer, as it felt a bit abrupt at times. The dining experience was basic but had a friendly atmosphere, making breakfast okay, although the options were limited. Overall, I enjoyed the convenience but felt the hotel could improve in a few areas.
I had a somewhat mixed experience at the hotel. While the location is fantastic, just a block from the beach, I found the room situation inadequate for my needs. The staff could have been more pleasant, and the dining options were fairly basic. On the upside, the room was clean and quiet, which I appreciated during my stay.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic, just steps away from the beach and convenience like the Casino Kursaal nearby. The rooms were clean and nicely renovated, although the dark decor made them feel a bit too dim for my taste. The service from the staff was friendly, but I did encounter some challenges with the room readiness. Overall, it’s a great spot, but there are a few things that could use some improvement.
