The room looked recently remodeled and was very clean. The bed was very comfortable with many pillows and comfy linen. The refrigerator was very cold and the AC kept the room very cold and was a nice reprieve from the heat. The outside is very deceptive because it looks a little run down but the room was very nice. It was also very close to the shops and beaches. I would definitely stay here again.
