"Not a bad room, it was clean when we arrived and the patio in the back was nice. However, we did find several small cockroaches on the first night. One of the patio chairs was broken and the mattresses were absurdly squishy, I'm sure some people like that but for me it felt like sleeping on a water balloon. Besides that everything went well, the amenities worked and the breakfast was filling."
