    No communal kitchen. No microwave. The wifi was null, so not even the TV worked. When we first got there, dungeon like room and a horrible noise every 10 mins.

    Cleanliness. A/C was excellent. Once we got changed from the dungeon we were first, that other room was excellent, loved the windows.

    WiFi did not work (really needed it for work). It was therefore difficult to communicate with management and I had to rely on another person to speak with manager. There was construction drilling going in the next room so it was very noisy in the morning.

    Close to the airport and places to eat on main road nearby. The first room was not made up upon arrival and I was allocated another room which was ready. The bed was comfortable, the room large and the shower was decent.

    The accommodation is relatively close to the airport and easy to reach by public transport. However, it is also very close to a main road, and the windows are quite thin and not insulated, so the noise from the road was very noticeable at night.

    We stayed here for just one night before continuing our journey. After a long flight, we arrived very late, but the automated check-in with the PIN worked perfectly, allowing us to access the room without any staff assistance. That said, the room was very clean, and the mattresses were excellent, allowing us to catch up on sleep comfortably.

    The hotel makes this loud weird bird noise ALL night long making it hard to sleep. the room is kind of like a dungeon with not much ventilation, brick solid walls and barely no windows except for a tiny skyline type one that doesn't provide much lighting. The bathroom looks like the walls were molded and then painted over. the check in process was super frustrating because we did not receive our room code to get in. Had to escalate a call to get it. Also staff mistakenly took our personal towels and bathing suits to ask and then left for the day and we had to escalate a call to get someone to come and bring our personal belongings back! The customer service lady was very sweet and worked really hard on getting our things back and we did get them back. Again, staff and cleaning crew are super nice. I think our things were just a taken by mistake but was returned. Beds were super comfortable!

    The Cleaning staff was super nice and helpful. The location was great and just a few minutes walk to the beach and a super quiet street. The lobby is really nice and clean with clean bathrooms and comfy seating and nice mirrors. The property was cute and unique. Looked like a manor with lots of rooms. Room was a 2 bedroom and very spacious and AC worked good.

    Parking can be hard ,if you get a spot ,do the rest by foot, restaurants and shops are next door. Our room for two was just freshly painted ,ready ,cooled and beautiful, our friend was next door,her room was not ready , no air or fan on ,it stank of humidity, she is allergic to mold ,she could not breathe in there for the first two hours . We open the door, put the air on ,could not go under 70 ! ,put the fan on. The bathroom paint was falling off the walls.Some work has to be done before renting it again

    The location is great, the place is very cute, beautiful community room and kitchen.the rooms are big and it was quiet.
