It was worth the escape I enjoyed.
Pros:

It's well located just on the main road and adjacent to Watamu Mall, near the market and the beach. Very quiet and private from the outside, with a security guard on duty 24/7. A sizeable warm swimming pool that I loved and enjoyed very much.

Cons:

Room service, cleaning, and changing of bed linens. I prefer changing sheets every 2 days and having the room cleaned daily. The rooms are small, and there is not enough wardrobe space, but we managed.
