I had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Empress Hotel! The location is perfect, just steps away from the beach, and the rooms are spotless and modern. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable, always greeting me with smiles. I especially loved the complimentary breakfast on weekends, which was a delightful way to start the day. The outdoor pool area is charming and well-kept. My only complaint was that the nightlife scene got a bit loud at times, but overall, it was a lovely experience, and I can’t wait to return!

My stay was quite enjoyable, with a wonderfully convenient location right across from the beach and near local dining spots. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly, making us feel welcome throughout our time there. While our room was clean and comfortable, it did show some signs of aging, especially the small bathroom. The dining options during breakfast were nice, but could use a bit more variety. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and great value for a weekend getaway.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel during my stay. While the location was fantastic and the retro style added charm, there were significant maintenance issues that detracted from my overall enjoyment. Though I appreciated the efforts of the staff to address concerns, the bug problem left me uneasy. The clean, spacious room made it worthwhile, but I wouldn’t say it was a relaxing visit due to the issues encountered.

The Empress Hotel offers a vibrant atmosphere with a fantastic location right across from the beach and close to local hotspots. My room was not only clean but also comfortable, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a busy day. The staff were a true highlight, warmly welcoming me every time. However, I could hear the music from the downstairs nightclub, which might not be ideal for everyone seeking a quieter experience. The complimentary breakfast was a delightful addition, but I wish there were a few more options.
