This hotel boasts a wonderful location, just a short walk to both the old town and the beach. The rooms are clean and provide a cozy atmosphere, which was especially nice during the stormy weather we encountered. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. However, the dining options could use some improvement, especially at breakfast. Overall, it's a decent value for the price, but there's room for enhancement in a few areas.
