Charles, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Right next to shoreline and beach a short walk less than 10 minutes walk outside of hotel. Restaurant and little shops are nice and convenient ground level of hotels. Restaurant is delicious using butter instead of oil to cook there meals added an extra layer of flavor in the breakfast. Front desks are especially helpful and quick to respond to any questions or issues. All staff were very responsive and polite to be around and never interfering. Our room was very spacious and quiet to be in considering in a major city. Gives you the feeling of the old hotel but all the benefits of modern living. Definitely if given the chance will come back.
