"Clean rooms. The staff speaks Eenglish very well and they were welcoming. I have stayed at this hotel many times. It is located in an area that's near the train and bus station. The beach is also close as well as many, many dining choices."
"Friendly staff and decent location. It’s a bit dated and nearly impossible to raise your arms in the shower but it’s not expensive and gives you breakfast."
"Location is very close to the beach.
Room is a bit outdated but was clean. No free water but it was fine - there’s a grocery close by.
My room faced the Main Street so it can be quite loud at night. Perhaps I should have asked for a quieter room."
