The location was pretty good! close to the waterfront and bus terminal.
The noise at night was hard to deal with! cleaning went on at all hours. And it made it difficult to sleep.

My room included a new full-sized fridge and individual air conditioning. The hotel provides access to a communal kitchen and laundry area. I found the pool to have many seating options. The pool includes sun loungers, chairs, comfortable couches and cabana style seating.
I experienced noise because the hotel had live music until 10:30 pm. The music originated from the courtyard below the hotel rooms. The description did not mention this possible noise.
