Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is decent since it's close to a bus stop and within walking distance to a couple of small beaches. The service was friendly and attentive, catering to personal needs. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired, as they were not as clean as I hoped, with one of my rooms welcoming cockroaches. The dining options were also quite underwhelming. Overall, it’s an affordable option, but keep your expectations in check.
The hotel has an excellent location, close to a small beach and many great restaurants, which was a big plus. The rooms were a bit worn and not as clean as I would have liked, particularly the shower. The staff was friendly and very helpful throughout my stay. Overall, it’s decent value for money, but I wish some areas were better maintained.
I recently stayed at this hotel and I found it to have some nice aspects, like the location being excellent, close to the beach and many attractions. The staff was truly friendly and helpful, which made my experience more enjoyable. However, the cleanliness of the rooms was disappointing, with stains on the floor from previous guests, and the dining options were inconsistent day-to-day. While I appreciated the great scenery, the cleanliness issue left me wanting more from my stay.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with friendly staff and a good location close to the beach, making it easy to explore nearby neighborhoods. The rooms were tidy and decent for a quick stay, although I wish the Wi-Fi signal was stronger. The dining options were limited but adequate. Overall, it’s a solid choice for the price, but it could use some improvements in the room amenities.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the location was convenient and the staff were very friendly and helpful, I did encounter a couple of cockroaches in my first room and the cleanliness could have been better. The dining options were good, with a different breakfast each day, but I still had a bit of a rocky start with the room situation. Overall, I found it decent for the price, but it could use some improvements.
