For the price we paid it exceeded our expectations.
Pros:

It was close to shops and good service.

Cons:

The other guests were noisy. We could have appreciated to at least have gotten 4 pillows because some of us sleep better using 2 pillows at the same time. The air-conditioning made noise if opened.
