Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
considering I paid only $60, this hotel is an amazing value. It's actually a unique boutique style hotel with an open air pool surrounded by restaurant which is a cool setup. The hotel has nice lighting, public seating areas, nicely decorated with plants and art - way above normal for this price. The rooms were really nicely appointed with lamps, carpet, and modern furnishings with lots of great pillows and sheets, very nice towels/soaps etc. There are lots of restaurants and bars to walk to. It took over 1 hour to reach the airport at 7am due to bad traffic though - beware. Uber ($15-25) is far cheaper than the taxi option ($35) to the airport.

El hotel está muy bien, pero deben cuidar el tipo de personas que reciben para pasar el día. Hoy habían mujeres de mala reputación en la piscina y algunos clientes nos sentimos incómodos por el tipo de conversación sexual que ellas tenían.

Great service and Ambience. The breakfast was light and fulfilling. Only thing I would say is maybe adding an iron and board and fridge in the superior rooms. Other than that great stay and will be booking again.
