excellent locationspacious feelfriendly staffworking air conditioning

The location is excellent. I found getting to the beach quick. The room had high ceilings. The staff was friendly and efficient, handling requests promptly. I also appreciated the working air conditioning, especially given the weather.

The building's age is evident, I noticed some wear in the bathroom.
