Categories

Cleanliness
8
Generally praised (multiple mentions of 'very clean' and 'freshly clean') but some notable negatives (weed smell in hallways, cockroach sighting, and missed housekeeping for several days) lower the score slightly.
Service
8.1
Staff frequently described as friendly and kind, with several positive notes; however there are service failures reported (poor check-in handling for under-21 guests, front desk unpleasantness, delayed room servicing) that moderate the rating.
Location
9
Strong positive sentiment about location and proximity to shops, markets and restaurants; multiple reviewers explicitly highlight 'location superb' and convenience.
Room Quality
8.8
Rooms described as spacious, comfortable and well equipped (two-bedroom setups, appliances, hot water), though isolated issues (cockroach, noisy old AC) prevent a perfect score.
Amenities
7.8
Mixed impressions: pool renovation and on-site gym/laundry are positives, but problems reported with dryers, no ice machine, unclear package fees and occasional lighting/parking concerns reduce the rating.
Value for Money
8.7
Several reviewers note a good cost-benefit and satisfactory price relative to experience; isolated complaints about deposits/fees impact perception but overall value is seen as strong.
Food and Beverage
8.6
Breakfast repeatedly praised as excellent/well managed and fresh, though some mention limited variety/repeat selection on multiple days.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall stays are described as nice and often exceed expectations, with positives around cleanliness, staff and value; however recurring service and amenity issues (deposit disputes, dryer/housekeeping lapses, occasional security/smell problems) temper the overall score.

It was OK.
Pros:

Usual

Cons:

One of the TVs did not have a plug so we requested a plug be delivered or change rooms. We did change rooms but the AC was very loud. Woke us up numerous times. Stayed here before and had no difficulties.

Pool and courtyard were very nice. There was an outdoor grilling area with 4 large gas grills.
Pros:

Rooms are very spacious and clean. Well stocked kitchen. Extremely comfortable beds.

Cons:

Breakfast was a little disapointing. Power was out to several of the serving stations. Free laundry room, but it was very dirty and several of the machines didn't work.

Muy buen lugar si necesitan espacios amplios.
Pros:

La habitación era grande, las camas súper cómodas, el hecho de que tuviera 2 baños fue práctico. Superó nuestras expectativas. El desayuno estaba bien, pero habían pocas opciones saludables.

Cons:

El desayuno podría mejorar, poca variedad.
