This hotel was very reasonably priced and so nice! It felt really luxurious compared to many similarly priced hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka. The terrace restaurant was really good too. Although the Marriot being built across the street means there's no beach view, it's a short walk to all the surf schools on the beach. Also, there are train tracks right behind the hotel, so trains go by regularly. We didn't notice any noise at night, and it was cool to watch them go by, but maybe a very light sleeper would be bothered (if trains are even running at night, which again, we didn't notice). Overall, it was a lovely hotel and a great end to our Sri Lankan adventure!
