We were very surprised at the room given the price we paid. It has more like a two star rating. The air conditioner could not be controlled because the knobs were all broken. The shower was not acceptable as the water barely came out of the tap. Unfortunately, given the price and what we got for the price, we will not be staying here again.

Great room for 5 with good space to get organized. I loved the kitchenette and the fact that we actually had a room and the living area separated. The only thing is that the AC was loud even though very convenient for this time of the year. Breakfast was great! Thank you for providing a good stay for us.
