great location major attractions awesome breakfast noisy night warm room mismatched picture
The location was superb! Major attractions and eateries were within walking distance. The breakfast was awesome. It had lots of choices.
The room did not match the pictures. It was quite noisy long into the night. The room was rather warm at night.

broken wardrobe rogue mosquito
I found a couple of things less than stellar. the 'wardrobe' was basically just a hole in the wall with a rod. It collapsed the first day, and instead of fixing it, they replaced it with a standing coat rack. also, while the room was generally clean, i did spot a mosquito buzzing around.
