positive:
Close to the Beach
Guests loved being able to enjoy the sea while staying here. Some of them chose to walk to the ocean and appreciated having the ability to do so at their leisure. If you want accommodations near the beach and don't mind very basic amenities, this may be the place to pick.
positive:
Hassle-Free Access to Public Transit
Because there is a train stop outside the hotel, you won't have to struggle to get around without a car. In most cases, the public transit helped guests feel eager about exploring the area efficiently.
positive:
Suitable for the Rates Charged
Because guests found the property to be very affordable, they were usually able to look past the very plain rooms. If your primary goal is to find a place to stay without breaking the bank, this option is worth a look.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Dated Rooms
Guests usually found their rooms were functional, but in great need of freshening up via upgrades. They discussed things like threadbare carpeting and creaking floorboards when outlining the negative points of their accommodations.
negative:
Many Problems With Drafts
Guest noted the corridors were quite chilly because they were not well insulated from breezes. This problem sometimes also presented itself in the rooms because some windows did not close tightly enough. These issues were usually not significant problems, but certainly prominent enough to make guests feel annoyed, or at least, disappointed.
negative:
You Must Relinquish Car Keys to Park
Guests were not thrilled about having to leave their car keys at reception in order to take advantage of parking privileges. Many said they would have much rather enjoyed not having to wait for staff to retrieve their cars before leaving to go sightseeing.
