Excellent Stay in a Quiet Location

helpful staff short walk

I found the staff very helpful. They quickly addressed all my requests. The room was clean and spacious in the newer section. It was a short walk to the town centre. but the hotel was very quiet, so I rested well.

The lack of air conditioning in the room was a minor issue. the fan provided did an adequate job. I think air conditioning is quite important. when the temperatures are very high.

Location

9/10

The hotel is a short walk from downtown. This provides convenient access to shops and attractions. It integrates well with the surrounding desert environment, and this preserves the local character. I found the location to be quite accessible.

Dining

9/10

The hotel offers a breakfast buffet and a restaurant that serves dinner. The ceviche was delicious. The hotel also prepares takeaway breakfasts leaving early for tours. There is a good variety of options.

some issues

small bathroom leaking shower

the room size felt rather small and lacked a tv. the bathroom offered minimal space, the sink had little room for toiletries. the shower stall wasn't fully sealed and water leaked out. plus, the hairdryer needed constant button pressing, inconvenient.
