I had a wonderful experience at the Arlington Hotel. Its prime location near the sea and various attractions made my stay memorable. The rooms were spacious and provided a great view, while the staff was exceptionally helpful throughout my visit. Dining options were plentiful and well-prepared, although the bathroom could have been a bit larger. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for the price.
