The property was nice. Clean, well maintained. It is air cooled, not air conditioned, so it’s not like the US, but some relief from the heat exists. The staff provided me a fan and changed my room to improve my comfort. I was slightly disappointed in the quality of the breakfast. Overall, a fine hotel with fine staff.
