Great stay for clubbing

The hotel is boutique style, placed just next to two nightclubs. My room was big and comfy. The shower was good. However, the noise and music and night were unbearable.

Great staff, hard to sleep due to loud nearby club

The staff and the property is great. The hotel is also located near everything. The only issue is the loudness of the nearby club. It’s hard to sleep until the music stops at 3am.

Perfect location

Right in the center of town, and one block to the beach. Nightclubs nearby play loud music until 3 am, and then you can sleep until noon. Maybe not the best for families looking for quiet time, but great for singles and couples. I would stsy here again.

It was a great stay on budget. Right beside the clubs, restaurants, and market. 3 mins walking distnace to the beach. The front desk staff were super nice. The check in was very quick and so was the check out. Also, the housekeeping found our beach clothes in the bathroom and handed over wihin 2 mins while we were checking out. I'd love to stay again next time.
