Amazing for the value! I had a room on the first floor. The little patio deck is really nice and the partial sea view from it is a nice touch. The room matched the pictures online when reserving. Nice and helpful staff. The room did have a "smokey" smell that was easily cleared once I opened the window for a little. The ceiling/floor separation is very thin though :/
