The staff proved quite helpful . The location is a definite plus. I found it easy to reach many attractions. Breakfast was good, especially considering the price I paid.
My room faced the hotel store, so I had a limited view. The air conditioning made strange noises at night. It was a bit disruptive. The bathroom was rather small and basic.
