Check-in was easy, staff member at reception was lovely :) Bed was comfy, shower was great, AC was very welcome in the humidity! A bit of dust and such in the places that aren’t easily accessible (high window behind kitchenette cabinets for example). I had access to a wee courtyard, but the large pavers underneath the seating need some stabilising, every time I moved they shifted which was rather alarming. Overall it was great value for money for an overnight stay, would happily stay again :)
