No luggage assistance- you have to walk up several flights of stairs with your own luggage. Hotel is dirty and has cockroaches. No towels in the room … very misleading from the website. Highly disappointed should be taken off Expedia.
Room was duty, no towels, no toilet paper. No trash cans.sink was leaking advised receptionist and they didn't send no one to fix it Staff was rude and neglected. No amenities inside room
Enjoyed being so close to the beach!
Beware though if you go down, they will rent you umbrellas, drinks and then upcharge you. Ensure you get your bill correctly and pay cash.
The hotel itself was okay because we needed anything last minute. Getsemani was only a 10 min uber and that was no problem for us. worked out.

Ok hotel for the price
Keep in mind that you get what you pay for . It’s not the worst place but it is outdated and old . Staff was ok but also not the most friendly
The hotel is located in a perfect spot. You can walk anywhere really, I made it to the city in 30 minutes or so. We got a room facing the ocean because we wanted the view but the windows were so dirty it was not worth it. The shower didn't have a curtain and even though the tub was spacious the water came out and wet the toilet and floor. Bring your own toiletries because they don't give you shampoo or conditioner just soap. Overall, is a decent place to stay.

Wasn’t what I was looking for . Now the room looked like it was but no refrigerator
Let within 10 minutes of check-in. Roach spray smell no ac, photos online completely different than actual property. Rude staff. I want my money back! Had to last minute get another much more expensive hotel.

Awesome view with a suprise tax
View of the room to the sea and facilities were awesome, I paid extremely cheap thanks to the hotels.com bonus points but since my husband paid with his credit card they charged me a surprise "tax" that ended being more than a payed for the room but in general was still cheap. Room was clean but the air condition had a loud squeak when turned on.
The building looks old
No a/c on the lobby or restaurant
The bathroom was like incomplete (missing lid)
No place to put the soap, toothbrush and no extractor fan
I was doing check in 1 hour. The guys on front desk do not speak any English. The air conditioning inside the room made me sick there is no hot water in the building. Also you cannot bring the girl inside your room. In th bathroom alot of bugs.

****Low end stay in High end area**
Wow, where to begin. The good first. Walkable and close to transport. The X105/3 takes you into the center of tours.
The staff is courteous and very friendly and helpful. When I needed a room change. No issues. Always with a smile.
Now, for the main reason you are here reading. Is this woth the miney? That all depwnds. Like i wrote this is and older low end seen better days hotel.
The water is cold. Everything's dated. One elevator working. If your not into fancy and or frills. This is one to pass. Many hard working families with all the kids were abundant. But it didn't get loud. The pool is ancient and not easy to enter for older folks. The

AVOID THIS HOTEL - WOULD GIVE NEGATIVE STARS FOR RATING IF POSSIBLE.
The Staff was very accommodating, however, the property is on terrible condition. My air conditioning did not work so I changed rooms and the hot water did not come on regardless of how long the shower was on in the new room. The furnishings were old and the bed was hard as a brick. The linens and towels are low quality and no blanket in the room. The pillows were old, flat, and smelled. The room entry door was a hollow core door and when you left the room at night the corridor lights were off and did not come on until you reached the elevator. The air conditioning was controlled by the hotel with no thermostat in the room.
