My stay at Century Hotel was a mixed bag. While the location is excellent, just a short walk from the beach, I encountered some significant issues during my visit. The room I stayed in was small and a bit worn-down, which was disappointing. That said, the staff was friendly and responsive, and I appreciated their help with local dining options.

My stay at Century Hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the beach and nearby attractions, but the room conditions left much to be desired. While the outside of the hotel boasts classic Art Deco charm, the room itself felt outdated and uncomfortable. If you're looking for a place just to crash for a night, it might work, but I wouldn't want to linger here too long.
