"Breakfast was good. Standard gallo pinto and eggs with toast and fruit. Room was as described on FB. Pillows were lumpy and bed was hard but still got good nights rest. Pool is small but clean and refreshing with great city view. Hotel is off the beaten path. Nothing is very close as far as restaurants and grocery options. Hotel is at the top of steep busy road without sidewalks and all options are at the bottom of the hill but Ubers were plentiful. Very quiet basic place to stay. No bar or restaurant on site. Plenty of friendly cats though. Would stay again"
