The hotel is nice. Not wonderful. It won't take your breath away. But it's nice. It overlooks the sea. As far as I could tell, each room had a small balcony with a table and two chairs; my room and balcony faced the Mediterranean. They serve dinner, and there's another taverna just a few hundred meters down the road. There's not much in the way of stores or mini-markets nearby, so do your stocking-up before you arrive. I chose this hotel mainly because I had an early morning flight to take and I did not want to battle Chania traffic to get to the airport. THE LENA BEACH HOTEL IS A MERE 8 MINUTES FROM THE AIRPORT ON EMPTY ROADS. That mattered most to me. If you need to catch a flight and are nervous about the possibility of unexpected traffic delays, stay at the Lena, and you'll easily, relaxedly, make your flight.
