It’s cozy and really has the island vibe around it. Locals are friendly and getting a taxi was so easy. Coke machine doesn’t work so don’t put money into it. Room is older but clean. Most Imporantly!!! THE MATTRESS WAS SOFT and comfortable 😃

If you like self service. This is the place “Front desk” is a tiny booth theoretically open from 9-6 but reality is you have to call their cel phone Don’t sleep in or you won’t get your room cleaned. No soap in shower but you can use shampoo for hand soap. Clerk was nice when we called him. Need strong wrists to turn off shower or else bring a pipe wrench. AC was full blast or turned into heater

I've seen worse, but also a lot better.

No one at front desk, although we arrived at 3 pm. Key was left for us. Beds and pillows were very uncomfortable, creaky, stiff, lumpy. Bathroom was clean except for mold on shower door.
