Adequate room, the staff was amazing and despite language barriers, we were able to achieve everything we wanted to it’s in a good location and a shuttle was provided for $30 to go to the airport. We did not use the pool or the shops nearby as it was later in the evening when we arrived and we were quite tired. We did go to the little restaurant. The food was very good and our waiter was exceptional.

Room was a good size. More basic but clean. Breakfast was limited, but eggs, pancakes and fruit. Nice roof top pool. The area around was not great, but short walk to water and old town. Very slow elevator.
Adequate, comfortable bed, quite noisy, unsafe to go out at night. Be prepared to use uber or cab after dark especially women. Front desk staff not so friendly but the doormen, especially Whyber, will go the extra mile to make sure you’re taken care of. Had paid for 6 days left after 3 to go to a better place despite the loss of $$.

The hotel is 2 stars at best. Room provided the bare minimum although the towels were soft and fluffy. No security box, no hair dryer, no dresser, etc..
The welcoming by the receptionist staff was was underwhelming. They did not even provide me with a wifi password. The wifi was very slow. I was barely able to call and secure an uber. If you need to do work, this is not the place to stay for that! On the good aspects, the bed was great. I had a good sleep. While the building is dated, is needing maintenance and care

The problem was when I arrived they did not honor my reservation. They informed me that the people before me had a problem with their tour bus breaking down. Therefore they offered to send me to some flea bag hotel for the night. Outside the front door you can smell the open sewer. It’s a good price!
The hotel is located near to the malls and other places of interest. The surrounding area was not so sophisticated but I appreciated the large supermarket close by. I didn’t have much problem with noise which was limited mainly to the motor vehicles traversing the road. Taking the uber was easy and cost effective. My room was very clean and I got room service every day. I really appreciated the ladies who took care of the room, the were very professional and courteous. The lobby staff were helpful and professional. Check in and check out was very easy. The breakfast served was very delicious every morning.
