We felt welcomed on arrival and were given an excellent summary of the area with tips and recommendations. Parking was easy, but not close to our accommodation. Very good location close to many key attractions, and a stop on the free bus loop. Nice pool. Room was compact, but clean with a decent sized bathroom. Nowhere to store or place bags off the floor. Shower was rather weak and needed a shelf near the sink. Bed felt a little old and sleepers rolled together a bit. Breakfast was basic packaged items taken in the room. Understood that the location attracts a higher price, but for around $220 a night these things whould probably have been better.

I liked the place originally but then bugs started to show up and somehow the floor was sticky. When I reported it they just told me that it is normal in the area.
