Excellent Location and Clean Rooms

helpful staff clean room vending machine luggage storage

The staff assisted with taxi arrangements to the airport, which I appreciate. Rooms are basic, I noted, but spotlessly clean. I found the vending machine helpful late at night. The hotel stored luggage after checkout..

I noticed a few stairs. I took it as an opportunity for exercise.

very nice location secure area friendly staff cacti collection

The location is very nice. It is a very short walk to the famous tower. the area felt secure, even late at night. the staff was very friendly and helpful. my room overlooked a nice collection of cacti in the backyard.

The heat was a slight issue. I visited in august, and the room only had a fan, not air conditioning.
