“There's a warmhearted touch in the breakfast service, coupled with a prime beachfront location and friendly staff that I noticed; a lovely contrast with the property's evident need for renovation. In my opinion, those seeking simple, affordable accommodation with direct beach access might find its charm despite the wear.”
