6/10 Good

The hotel is perfectly located by the beach, it has easy access, and I like that the parking is included. The room was not clean at all. Yes, the beds were made, but the floor, toilet, shower, and sink were dirty, the room door was really hard to close because it was misaligned with the frame, the balcony sliding door was also hard to open or close, and you were only able to open it halfway because it needed lubrication or the tracks were damaged. The food was ok, but the advantage is that the good restaurants were across the street. I will stay again, here, yes, because it is very convenient.
