The room was clean, the staff were friendly, breakfast was great, and there was a good parking area. However, the corner photo they posted gives the impression that this is a small, private villa with a cozy atmosphere. In reality, the hotel is part of a large complex, located next to a nightclub and a church. Because of this, you may occasionally hear some unusual or unexpected noises. Other than that, it’s a nice hotel and overall a pleasant place to stay.

Lovely and helpful staff. Location was pretty good for there is the waterfront with a few restaurants and supermarket down the street- extremely close. Room was pretty clean- with teapot and coffee/tea options. Just a little hair in the shower drain ( happens in most hotels but still a little offputting). Loud parties/noises happened randomly (due to other guests) at 2-3am but still a nice place to stay.

The hotel is a bit far and out of the way and it is located on top of a small shopping plaza. Harder to transport luggage. Only convenient for a one night stay.
