Positive: Location. Near the beach and Coronado Hotel. Swapped us to an accessible room due to no lift in the premises, which was essential to us.
Negative: Probably a bit dated and tired, but it has been there a long time. Hot water could be hotter. Just minor observations.
Summary: Great hotel by the Coronado Hotel..
