What a disaster. I chose this place for my wife’s birthday and anniversary, and was disgusted. For the price, you would hope you wouldn’t find the prior tenet’s trash in the room, sand in the sheets, and a working toilet. Yes, the toilet in the room did not work. Their solution, take water out of the sink and fill the toilet in order to flush it. Be warned the rooms are disgusting. We paid extra for a balcony and ocean view. The balcony was covered in bird poop and the view was obscured by apartments and rooftops. I don’t normally leave bad reviews, but this hotel is the worst I have ever stayed in. We had friends that reserved an AirBnB, and we ended up hanging out with them. Do your research, and stay somewhere else!!

The guys at the front desk were kind and they let us keep our bags in their baggage room ahead of check in and after checkout, which was very helpful!

The shower was so small that I am 5 ft and was uncomfortable to even wash your hair, I even hit my head on a shelf that was located in a corner for storage (no space to even move around). The check in is at 4pm and that is inconvenient and you don’t know that information prior you doing your booking. The room is extremely noisy, the shutters filter so much light tha you wake up at soon the sun is out, the coffeemaker was clock and ended spray hot coffe all over. The carpet has dirty stains and around looks dirty too.

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the town, making it a great base for exploring. However, the room itself was quite small and not particularly clean, which was a major concern for me. Despite this, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, allowing us to check in a few hours early.
