Cool motel vibe with nice aesthetics. The room was clean and functional, though the bathroom is quite small. Sound insulation is poor—if you have noisy or partying neighbours, you’ll hear everything happening in their room. The pool area can also get very crowded; if other guests are there, expect limited space and possibly having to sit on the floor. Otherwise, check-in was smooth and communication was good—everything is contactless.
