The furniture seemed old and worn, particularly in the bedroom. The desk felt wobbly. the television reception was poor. It was difficult to get a clear signal for both TV and radio, a minor annoyance that detracted from the overall experience. The hotel is a solid place, but some areas need attention.

Excellent Stay in a Well-Located Hotel

great staff good breakfast
I was really pleased with the hotel's proximity to the beach. The staff were helpful with luggage and supportive of my needs, which I found great. The breakfast was very good, with a good selection of self-service options and the quality was high. The staff was friendly and created a pleasant atmosphere.
I found that parking was unavailable upon arrival one evening. This meant I had to park elsewhere, at the BIC, inconvenient. I expected more on-site parking availability .
