Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although some scuff marks and spills detracted slightly. The location was excellent, close to everything I needed, with great WiFi. The dining experience was basic, with a simple breakfast. The service was friendly, and the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel looked decent in the pictures and upon arrival. The reception area rooms were quite simple and warm, but the air conditioning worked well. The TV blasted cartoon network. The location was pretty good, two blocks away from the water and central to the main road. The dining was plain and included a basic breakfast. The hotel had some seating and hammocks near the front desk.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, just a couple of blocks from all the restaurants and shops. The rooms were cozy with air conditioning and a Sony flat screen with cable. The service was top-notch, always with a smile. The only downside was the thin walls in the rooms.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, but some design aspects were not very practical. The service was decent, but I expected a bit more. The location was convenient for exploring the area, although noise could be an issue at times. The dining options were satisfactory, but there are better choices nearby. Overall, it was an average stay with both positives and negatives.
