The hotel offered a clean and warm environment with friendly staff who made my stay enjoyable. However, I wish the room had better amenities like a fridge and microwave to accommodate families. The location is excellent, being close to the beach and local shops, but the dining experience could use some improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable, with clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff helping me out despite the hectic IronMan weekend. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and plenty of eating options nearby. However, I was disappointed with the lack of a mini-fridge in my room, which would have been handy. While the restaurant served tasty meals, I felt that the dining experience could use some improvements, especially for larger groups.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel; it has a great location, just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by plenty of eating options. The rooms were comfortable, although they did feel a bit cheap compared to some other places I've stayed. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making the experience even better.
