You get what you pay for, and that’s not a bad thing. Room and hotel were clean, service was great, location is fantastic. Walls and doors are paper thing, so expect to hear most of what’s happening outside in the patio throughout the day - if you’re a napper, don’t expect much. TV didn’t work but I didn’t bother asking for it to be fixed as I didn’t need it. No safe in the room, which was a little strange. Wifi is not great, but it’s good for basic surfing. Nice and quiet at night with no issues.
