the garden was in really good condition for THIS time of year. the price seemed very attractive and the hotel has a car park. my guests WERE impressed with the decoration of the entrance, hallway and the room.

the door didn't open easily so it was difficult with luggage. the chair was very stained so I didn't want to sit on it. i also noticed the floor was stained. there were no extra pillows.

Mixed Experience, Some Issues Noted.

good sizelate check-inawful bedsparking situation

The room was a good size and generally well maintained, with everything I needed for my stay.

The check-in time at 4pm is far too late. The beds were also quite poor. The mattress felt old and had springs that poked into my back, preventing a good night's sleep. The parking situation was also inaccurate, with fewer spaces available than advertised.

The location was convenient. It was close enough to the town. The hotel included free parking.

The main gate did not always close properly. This seemed to compromise security.

The studio garden view was super clean and had a nice garden view. the location was ideal. It was close to the beach and the town center. the hotel also included parking, which i found very convenient. i would book here again for sure.

The automatic door closure seemed unreliable. I often noticed the main gate remained open, which raised security concerns.
