Best part of the stay was Paula, she welcomed us with a smile and took care of everything. Highly recommend if you are driving, use the hotel parking. The rooms are very comfortable and location is excellent. Old town is literally few mins aways and so is the beach. Great choices of restaurants within walking distance.
