AVOID STAY HERE Air C. was not working dripping water we had to call people to fix . TV loose signal all the time called people to fix nobody showed up. very old spots aroud the room not renovated. Our room had 2 beds one had stain in sheets. Noisy street by side the hotel. When rain come down be ready to wear boots as the water has bad drainage in the street aroutd the hotel. It is better staty by the water because every time you go to town to restaurants you have to pay 6 dollars for 1 hr of parking everywhere you go. Hotel claim to have parking and have 2 spots which is busy all the time, you have to park in the street which is very annoying to find a spot. Breakfast is grab and go, like in plastic bag but coffee is good. There is a little seating area on ground floor that is nice unless is rainning.Our room advertise a balcony with seating are but the area is a community area it is not a private balcony. Staff not very friendly. I do not recommend!!!!! Stay close to the water where the boats and restaurants are. You pay a little more but in the end save you aggravation and money!!!

This place is very nice with several room options...I stayed in the library. Very secure, very quiet and close enough to the tourist traps, but too close making motor scooters the ideal transportation. There is a pool, it is quite small and needs to be emptied and cleaned to get the stains on the surfaces. Overall, it was a great choice for a 3-day stop and I plan to stay here in the future.
