    Wonderful place all in all, has pleasant staff upon check-in receptionist. Make sure you stay in the twin/double room with good facilities and lofted bedroom. The location is unbeatable and amazing, in the centre. The restaurant serves excellent Mexican food.

    Had high standard room with a large shared balcony over the front, and I couldn't ask for more. The location right behind a restaurant was good for me.
