No on-site restaurant

“What strikes me most is its solid value, where basic comforts meet a respectful, attentive staff. Its proximity to the beach is certainly a plus, and while some rooms may need AC adjustments, many have been updated for a cleaner, more contemporary feel. From what I gather, this is a reliably affordable option that doesn't skimp on the essentials.”
