Excellent Value in Central Location

helpful receptionistlocal informationcomfortable bedquiet location
Rafael at reception was helpful and cute. He provided great local information and was always ready to assist. The maintenance worker was also friendly and diligent. The bed in my room was very comfortable (this was a real plus). I appreciated the quiet side street location, close to the town's main attractions.
The shower drain was a little slow.

Excellent Staff and Prime Location!

attentive staffcomplimentary watermold smell
The staff was very attentive, quick to respond, and helpful . Rafael, the manager, was particularly helpful. He offered beach towels and sun lotion for my stay. I appreciated the complimentary drinking water provided in the room, especially with the hot weather we had. The location was amazing. It was near local shops and restaurants.
My room had a window facing a narrow space between buildings, limiting fresh air. This resulted in a stuffy atmosphere and a distinct mold smell in the bathroom, which I found unpleasant.
