Very "efficient" (what you get for the money you pay). Good location, clean, quiet (stayed here at the end of the busy season). Nothing to complain. Interesting approach, to convert a (closed) shopping mall into a hotel.

The lady was very kind, even though it was 2-3 hours before check-in. She gave me the room so I could change, leave my things, and go to the beach. Everything was great and close

For the money, the rooms were large, beds were king sized, and all clean. The hotel has little amenities but there's a cute coffee shop with a great breakfast on the backside. My teenage sons loved exploring the old hotel

Check/in was great and the attendant was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and the A/C worked well. However it was difficult to find the entrance which was around the side of the building itself, which is a converted mall. In essence, there is no natural light inside the room and no views to any grounds as such. But there was a good number of lights inside the unit itself.

Great location, decent hotel

This hotel was very close to the beach and a lot of tourist attractions which made it really easily accessible. reception was very good for arranging tours for us but they didn't even have an extra blanket when we asked for one. due to heavy poor on the day the roof was leaking in the hallway. the gym was not really in a working condition. Room was spacious and clean but would have preferred carpet floors instead of tile.

A gem in the hotel zone

The outside of the hotel may probably fool you, but as soon as you enter the property, you notice a simple front desk and hallways, but good customer service. Something that should be mentioned is that the bathrooms that are considered public are aging and appear abandoned. But when you enter your room, you can see a room that is on par with large renowned hotels, clean and comfortable, I fell in love with my room. This hotel is undoubtedly a gem in the hotel zone and at a price that cannot be matched. It has a buffet restaurant, the food is good and the service is friendly. If you plan to spend the whole day out, this is the right hotel.

The property has only one thing going for it and that’s location . It smelled in the room . It was run down and terrible signage . We were lucky the cab driver knew where it was. Never had hot water whole week we were there . Room was cold and no heat as we got some bad weather . Our room was clean but never got hand towel and had to ask for bath towels . In saying that we found the staff friendly and helpful with requests . It’s only good if you get a great deal to stay as close to everything otherwise don’t book here . The place is literally falling apart . We were at highest season Xmas week so we got a great rate compared to other very overpriced hotels . Also we felt safe walking everywhere .
