10/10 Excellent
"Room was adorable and clean, check in was quite timely but I get that they are trying to keep a laid back vibe, had we not been in a hurry to get to a wedding it wouldn’t have been a problem. I will definitely stay again on different circumstances so we can enjoy it more. IMO: lighting could be less yellow and dim."

"The room air conditioning hasn't been working for several weeks and doesn't look like it will be fixed soon. They do offer fans, and the weather will probably be cooling down soon."
