Breakfast was great every morning. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Very good location. Grocery store next building over. Main strip of town a block and a half away. Most area attractions within walking distance. A variety of restaurants to choose from. Just bring cash. The tours and gift shops take a card but restaurants do not.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are outdated and with little comforts (for example, two bedside tables but only one lamp, very small bathroom with nowhere to place a wash bag). It’s also not the cleanest: there were spider nets full of dead insects, the shower curtain had mould, there were small ants everywhere. But the staff is friendly and helpful; the cooked breakfast is good (with some egg dishes and local cuisine options). It’s also a 10-min easy walk to the airport so no need for taxi. The sound isolation is poor but we found this to be an issue everywhere. At least this place is in a quiet part of town so the noises will be only from guests, not from the road.

Packed breakfast to be provided if leaving hotel earlier than posted breakfast time. Miscommunication or rather lack of communication regarding breakfast being put in room fridge the previous evening. Nobody conveyed this information.
