Not a good value for your $ anymore, stay somewhere else..
Pros:

Location, elevator, drinking water, pool, restaurant

Cons:

Very very small, one windows which opens to the walkway/courtyard. Old worn out towels and sheets. No wash clothes, 1 handtowel. One evening the restaurant and pool was closed for a private event. Everything (the room) is original except the mattress.

Suitable for a short stay
Pros:

The staff are very nice, room cleaned every day, the restaurant and bar on the top floor was fantastic, great prices, good food, but the staff made the place, extremely popular with tourists and locals

Cons:

Nice pool area, not many chairs poolside, the other deck area was nice, but the lawn chairs are all falling apart, they could invest a little and buy new ones, it was noisy a few nights, people screaming on their balcony at 4 in the morning, no attempt was made to quiet the situation.

Basic but convenient.
Pros:

Location, pool, sitting area, the rooftop restaurant, great location, coffee ready in the morning. There were great deals on Happy Hour. It was interesting to see where the swallows roost at night.

Cons:

The pool deck was deadly slippery - the surface should be textured. Lack of hooks in the bathroom.. The bathrooms need an upgrade..
