Guest Ratings & Reviews
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is incredible, being just steps away from the boardwalk and a stone's throw from the beach. The rooms were spacious and modern, equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The service was top-notch, with attentive housekeeping making sure everything was just perfect. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the regional dishes could use some more variety. Overall, a great value for money with such prime location and amenities.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its exceptional location close to the beach and stores. The rooms were well-equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, AC, and a lovely balcony. Despite a few minor drawbacks, my stay was enjoyable and offered good value for the money.
Wow, staying at this hotel was a dream come true! The rooms were spacious with a fantastic view and had everything I needed, including a refrigerator and microwave. The two queen-sized beds were super comfy, too. The service was top-notch, and the housekeeping staff made sure everything was spotless. The location couldn't have been better, right on the river and close to the Boardwalk and everything fun nearby. The included dining with delicious Sicilian pastries was a delightful touch. The facilities were modern and impressive, adding to the overall wonderful experience.
