My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The rooms were pristine and cozy, the staff was incredibly welcoming. The location is superb, just steps away from the boardwalk and surrounded by wonderful dining options. The dining experience was top-notch, especially with the delicious Asian dishes. However, the price could be a bit high for some and I wished there were more facilities available.

The hotel is in a prime location near the beach and on the boardwalk, making it convenient for a seaside getaway. The rooms are spacious, modern, and equipped with two queen beds in good condition, ensuring a comfortable stay. The service provided is top-notch, making guests feel welcome and well taken care of. However, the dining options, although offering gyudon dishes, might not cater to all tastes. The facilities are adequate, but some aspects could be improved for an even more enjoyable experience.
