The location was GREAT. A bus stop was right outside the hotel with convenient connections. There were also some restaurant options downstairs. THE breakfast offered enough food, and the coffee tasted nice.
the rooms were VERY small! It was only good for sleeping. Drinking coffee for two people was difficult. The balcony was also too small to spend time there or even hang beach towels.
