Staff was very helpful, location is great, the pool is wonderful, and easy off-street parking. The room was large and felt more like an apartment instead of a hotel room. The sign makes it seem run down, but I think it is memorial to the Hurricane that hit the area just last year. There are not elevators, so be sure to get a ground floor room if steps will be a struggle for you or your bags. Their was a door between our room and the room next to us for adjoining rooms, but it wasn't soundproofed well. The couples in the other room sounded like they were in our room while one was talking on the phone and the other kept scooping ice, watching TV, coughing, and talking. All things considered, I would definitely stay here again.

This is by no means a luxury hotel with lots of features, but it is super clean, nice pool area and free parking. The kitchen area consisted of refrigerator and microwave. The room was small but had everything I needed. Lighting was good. It was quiet. I got an alert on my phone that there was a severe thunderstorm, but I didn't hear it until I opened the door. The price was great and I had a comfortable two night stay. The staff was great and I felt secure. Just don't expect a super fancy place and you'll be happy.

Very surprised by all the positive comments.

We had hair and hairs in the sheets. The 2nd bed, a worn sofa with a very thin mattress, was not made. I was told to do it myself with sheets in the drawer. There too, hairs in the sheets.

160€ a night and you have to make your bed. I started doing it and lifting the mattress: candy, dirty socks, crumbs, one piece... (see photo). Months of filth.

The soil is dusty as desired. The cushions of the white stained sofa (I don't want to know more).

The coffee table is full of crumbs. The bathroom ditto, the contour of the sink has not been cleaned for a while.

The room \"closes\" with a digicode. The motel is open on the street and there is no one at the reception after 7 p.m. We were not reassured in addition to being disgusted.

The manager could not make a decision when the refund of the room paid 10 minutes before despite everything we encountered.

Amazing. There is no one in charge. If you had a problem, you will be alone.

Like what, the comments and high ratings are really not a guarantee of quality in the end.

We obviously left without being sure of being reimbursed. Too many health risks, safety...

NB: I am able to let a comment beacuse the hotel finally does not cancel my booking… discusting.
