Great location, close to the beach and the tower! The outside of the building had a modern look, which was a nice touch. My only wish was that our ground floor request was honored. We ended up on the first floor and it was a struggle for my disabled wife.

Initial issues with the room, but they eventually sorted it out. It was basic but comfortable. The shower was a bit tricky in room 9, and parking was an extra charge, which wasn't ideal but not a total deal breaker.
