Fantastic Hotel with Great Access

convenient accesshelpful stafflocal recommendationcafeteria atmosphere
The hotel had a convenient access point to the city center. From there, it was a short walk to the beach. The front desk staff was really helpful. They provided quick assistance with directions and local recommendations.
The bar area seemed a bit out of place. It was located in the middle of the dining area. This, and it detracted from a relaxing evening drink.
