I stayed 1 day out of 3 days and lost my money
Pros:

It was close to Ushaka and transport was easily accessible. It’s affordable

Cons:

The reception is upstairs which was scary for me as I arrived at night. I only slept 1 night out of 3 that I booked because it was noisy after 10 pm and so I lost my money. Someone knocked in my room & tried to open while I was taking a shower at night. The place is basically a motel and I think that should be on the description. The sink in my room was not working

Terrible experience
Pros:

Its close to the beach

Cons:

The view of the room, we were given a room with a very terrible view where we can only see old buildings that are broken when you open the windows, and the bad were too hard, when i woke up in the morning me and my wife we were complaining about the body being painful and there is a window on top of the door where if a person can climb a chair he or she can see what is happening inside the room

Cons:

The guy that welcomed us the first day didn't bother to let us know that there's a kitchen where we can cook we ended up buy food which was costly.

I also did not like the fact that the cleaned our rooms and took our towels and left us with no towels.

Plus the fact that they put only sugar in the room with no coffee or tea
