The hotel limits the air conditioning to 7 degrees cooler than outside. It was 95 degrees outside. My room was 87 degrees. No fans. I could not sleep. It was so hot I nearly passed out. Front desk just said they were very very sorry. Never stay on a hot day.

Very clean, not enough staff

Hotel Ligo had a fun, colorful design. The room and lobby were very clean. Blackout blinds covered the windows at night. The bed was comfortable. However, the hotel needed more staff. When we arrived at breakfast, half the tables were covered by other guests' dirty dishes. The plates had run out. One of the coffee machines had no mugs. On the second day, the eggs were cold (not room temperature -- actually cold!). There was a long line at checkout because the front desk had just one worker. I would stay here again, but not at full price.

Hôtel sympa très bien situé au calme et a dix minutes du vieux port La chambre est très grande et propre avec un lit super confortable avec une terrasse donnant sur un petit patio extérieur très sympa. Point négatif : pas de prise dans la salle de bain et quelques détails qui devrait être normalement a faire comme voir sur les photos.
