“Great location, friendly staff, clean property”
Location makes this hotel awesome, park your car and walk anywhere in the town, only need the car to tour the neighboring towns. Walk out from the lobby, cross the street in you are on the beach, very cool location. Coffee all day available, the kitchen makes it easy to bring home leftovers, cook breakfast if you wish, full size fridge in unit.

“spacious and clean room and facility but traffic noise from streets.”
spacious room and cleaned, wide lounge for relax and reading a book. Swimming pool. all day coffee and teas. Each room has balcony table and chairs. Only problem is the car noise surrounding hotel. There was a small road left side of hotel. There was a property to keep driving a car. Also hotel is the located on main road. When I sit an 2nd floor lounge, i can't watch movie on my computer due to traffic noise. This hotel provides paid breakfast but I haven't see any clients in the morning time except my check in date. I enjoyed to stay at restaurant and lounge but can't stay for long after sun set due to mosquitos (Feb)
