Every room has Sea view - this view is way better than some of the expensive hotels on Marine Drive. Reasonably priced hotel with sea view worth waking up to. Clean and decent sized rooms with functional bathroom. Friendly staff who go the extra mile to offer great service. Lots of food options within walking distance. Very convenient location.

酒店设施都是不错的，窗外就是海边小火车和一望无际的大海，真的很漂亮 我想提的意见就是，10美金/人的早餐真的有些差强人意，没有咖啡，只有咖啡粉直接冲，这个真的不好。饭菜种类也可以再提高一下 最后希望酒店有一点可以有个游泳池
