Mixed Feelings about the stay

broken shower fixture faulty sockets

The staff was quite helpful, specifically with directions.

The room I booked had maintenance issues. The shower fixture was broken, so I had to hold the shower head while showering. some electrical sockets did not work, frustrating when I needed to charge my devices.

fantastic location and amazing staff!!!

clean room comfy bed excellent service

The room i stayed in was undeniably clean. The bathroom also maintained that standard of cleanliness. the beds offered amazing comfort. Both my husband and i had a restful sleep. when i checked in, the staff welcomed me. I particularly appreciated the excellent customer service from sebastian and ajeesh. They were really good.

I noticed slight fingerprints on the mirrors. the lack of an open bar or restaurant was a little disappointing.

a bit rough around the edges

loose tiles street noise

The location was acceptable. It was close to the beach.

The room smelled strongly of smoke (even though i requested a non-smoking one). the bathroom tiles were cracked and loose. I nearly tripped. also, the noise from the street kept me awake most of the night. it was like living inside a drum, i tell you.
