Perfect accommodation for a family. So pleased to arrive and find it stocked with breakfast items. Very thoughtful. Close tourist attractions, but be warned there are three gentlemen’s clubs on the same corner. However, it was not loud at night. We slept with windows open without issue

Okay

This was in a pretty good location! They offered breakfast options and waters in our room on the first day (nothing was ever refilled though like they had originally told us). They provide soap, shampoo and conditioner in all of the showers. There were a pair of spa slippers for each person which was cute. The floors and bed covers were very dirty though which made the whole experience just feel more run down sadly.
