Comfortable stay at a great location.
Pros:

Great shared amenities, friendly staff & great location. The room was clean with comfortable beds, and met our needs for a one night stay.

Cons:

The room was a bit damp and dark due to its location on the lower ground floor. We had to use the dehumidifier setting on the air-conditioner a lot.

Nice but they cut the water off with no notice. Upstairs guests must have got high and moved furniture all night.
Pros:

Nice location, nice staff.

Cons:

Not much furniture for convenience. No where to put your toiletries. Mold on the bathroom floor. Even with the blinds closed light from cars.

Pros:

Locatie is top! Heel mooi uitzicht vanaf de penthouse suite. Ruime kamer. Mogelijkheid spullen achter te laten en nog te douchen voor je vertrekt. Mooie en leuke gezamenlijke ruimte die lekker koel is.

Cons:

De airco kreeg het niet goed gekoeld overdag. Verder was de douche niet geheel schoon en liep er een kakkerlak

Ground floor room was darker but still quiet

Paid for 3 nights, moved to another hotel after 1 night.
Pros:

Location is great if you want to put up with the noise.

Cons:

Size of the rooms. In the queen bed room (#10) there's no fridge, no coffee machine, not one single cup (at least for the bathroom to keep your toothbrush in). Next door neighbors down the street partied until early morning, I could not rest well.

Great location.
Pros:

The location and the brightness of everything.

Cons:

There are no real comfortable places to work if you need to be on camera. The room ventilation is not very good. Odors build up.

Ubicación espectacular, pero el agua se acaba con frecuencia. Check out muy temprano.
Pros:

Ubicación extraordinaria. Me tocó una habitación increíble. Aislante de ruido. Buen aire acondicionado y cama muy cómoda.

Cons:

Check out muy temprano e inflexible. El agua se fue por mucho tiempo y no me pude bañar tras un largo dia de sudor. Al parecer esto les sucede con frecuencia. El área común es una terraza húmeda sin aire acondicionado.
