10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay very much. The rooms need a little updating but the rest of the property is very nice. It’s a short walk to many restaurants and bars. The staff at the pool restaurant and front desk were very friendly and helpful. I have to travel with an ice pack for my back and the front desk kept it cold for me in a cooler. Great hotel!"
