Great location. The room was expensive for one night, it smelt like mildew and the sheets felt moist. I was initially going to extend my stay but after smelling the room, I could only manage to sleep and leave.

The location of the hotel was a perfect walk down the main street and was close to all of the bus stops. It is also conveniently located a lot of restaurants. The front desk staff were super friendly and accommodating, and the cleaning staff did a great job. Our room was perfect for the week long stay. Having a small kitchenette with the basic utensils and pots and pans were perfect! I would easily stay here again at my next visit!
