Good location in the tourist zone. Staff very friendly and helpful. But the room had just one window that looked out into a corridor, the light in the room was way too bright while the light in the bathroom was too dim. Hot water was only available intermittently and the Wifi was very slow in the morning and then again in the evening.

Good for the price. For paying around $50 US, I cant complain. Only thing is parking is tough, otherwise I would stay again. Just hope your room is not on the 4th floor!!! Didn't see any elevators. Issue with hot water but they fixed it. No face towels. Is that a D.R. thing? I'm noticing that occasionally. Staff was helpful and they speak English. No need to drive once you park in the eve. Food options are a 5 min. Walk away. I'd stay again would like for the property to double check the sheets though. Maybe it was one off, but there was a stain. For $50, I delt with it. Breakfast was not hot, but was satisfying. Overall great staff and stay!!!
