Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The positive points of this hotel are its low price, its ideal location close to the beach and several restaurants, and the cleanliness of the room and its amenities, including the kitchenette. The negative points are that the pool seems to be constantly closed, the rooms are only cleaned every three days, and the overall appearance is dated.
