Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews mention dirty bathrooms, moldy/musty smells, stained or very worn linens and thin towels; several guests explicitly called rooms unclean.
Service
8.5
Mixed but frequently positive: several guests praised friendly, accommodating staff and helpful front-desk interactions, though a few reported rude employees and poor handling of towel requests or management absenteeism.
Location
9.5
Consistently cited as a strong point — convenient for beaches, restaurants and shops, with easy access and free/nearby parking mentioned multiple times.
Room Quality
6
Rooms are described as dated and uneven in quality: some guests found them clean and comfortable while others reported outdated furnishings, poor A/C, lukewarm water, and uncomfortable pillows/beds.
Amenities
6.5
Basic amenities available (parking, on-site laundry), but several guests noted the pool was closed or missing despite listing and other advertised facilities were lacking; breakfast offerings were extremely limited.
Value for Money
6.2
Mixed perceptions: some felt the price matched the basic offering, while others explicitly called it too expensive given the condition and limited services.
Food and Beverage
4.5
Breakfast repeatedly criticized as minimal (waffles, bananas, coffee/juice, cornflakes) and of poor quality (watery coffee, small/smashable options).
Overall Experience
7.6
Overall mixed: location and several friendly staff improve stays for many guests, but cleanliness, dated rooms and limited amenities lead to inconsistent experiences; acceptable for a short, budget stop for some, unacceptable for others.

Would never stay there again. Will pay a little more money for a better experience
Pros:

Location was nice.

Cons:

Place was very dated.
Rooms were ok at best
Water wasn’t hot
AC was at full power and still way too warm.
We had 5 ppl in our room, but they gave us 2 towels. Wife asked for more and you would have thought there was gold in those towels. They did not want to give it up.
Bfast was not good. Nothing.
