Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

I stayed for one night and it was exactly what i beeded after 12 hours of travel. The AC was freezing when I entered the room, which was heaven sent because I'm here in August and the air is THICK with humidity. I wpuld love to stay longer next time.
