I was really looking forward to my stay at this hotel because of its beautiful facade, but unfortunately, the experience fell short in several areas. The public spaces were stunning, but the room was a big letdown with outdated furnishings and a less-than-pleasant smell. The staff was friendly enough, but service was lacking overall. The location is a definite plus, as it is close to the beach, but I can't say I would revisit.

Rooms

The room had two single beds pushed together and needed a good repaint. The bathroom had visible stains and overall it felt poorly maintained.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the cleanliness of the room and the polite demeanor of the staff were impressive, the overall condition of the hotel was disappointing, especially given the price we paid. The dining experience could also use improvement, particularly with the limited options available. There were some unique aspects like the historical architecture that added character, but the outdated facilities felt like a drawback.

Rooms
The room I stayed in was clean, but it felt old and quite cramped. It had a certain charm, but definitely in need of modernization. Rating: 6/10

This hotel has certainly seen better days. While the location is decent and the staff was mostly polite, the state of the rooms and overall facilities left much to be desired. The dining options were also disappointing, which adds to the overall unease of the stay. If you're looking for a relaxing retreat, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

My stay at this hotel was mixed. While the spa facilities were quite enjoyable and added to my overall relaxation, the room was a bit small and overpriced, considering the issues I encountered. Unfortunately, I faced challenges with the service, from payment confusion at check-in to unhelpful staff regarding room upgrades. The dining experience was decent, but not exceptional.

6.4/10

The hotel seems to have lost some of its former glory, with worn furnishings and an uncomfortable atmosphere in some areas. The pool was a highlight, but the dining experience and overall service left something to be desired. Given the history of the place, I expected more in terms of maintenance and attention to detail, especially at the price point. The convenient location near the beach is definitely a plus, but there are several areas for improvement.

Rooms
