Pros (+) We enjoyed stay and will recommend hotei to our friends.
8.5
Very good
Anonymous, Aug 2016
Pros (+) While not in the heart of town, it was reasonably close- especially to the Star Line docks. The room was clean, the beds comfortable. The indoor pool was well maintained. A hot breakfast was included every morning.
Cons (-) The room was a little small. The distance from the central part of town was a little awkward- a bit far to walk, too close to justify driving. Nothing major, however.

Cons (-) The location is at the end of the boardwalk. Not on beach where some of the website suggested

Pros (+) I liked the price
Cons (-) All the things that were broken in my room. My window couldn't be locked. The sheet had a stain on it. The plugs were broke and the water temp fluctuates wildly. Extreme hot and cold. If your looking for a cheep place to stay this is it but you definitely get what you pay for
