Hotel Terminal - Caroli Hotels

8/10 Good

"Endroit très bien situé face à la mer - accès facile - plage bien entretenue. Piscine très belle - jeux appréciés des jeunes. Le boardwalk superbe pour la marche et voir les couchers de soleil. Une vraie station balnéaire. Chambre très propre - la salle de bains a besoin d’amour - les portes de douche brisées et à peine fonctionnelles. Un renouveau s’impose. Les vitres des couloirs sont soit sales, soit défectueuses. On voyait à peine à travers. L’internet dans notre chambre très déficient pendant nos 3 nuits malgré nos doléances. Le café dans la salle à manger servi par des grosses machines qui ont fait défaut - loin du statut du bon café italien. Le buffet était très adéquat. L’homme des omelettes efficace et professionnel - très serviable. Stationnement facile autour de l’hôtel."
