Pros (+) We enjoyed stay and will recommend hotei to our friends.

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

Cons (-) The water temperature in the shower kept fluctuating making for an interesting experience!
