Spacious room
Our room was quite spacious with 2 king beds. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. The bathroom was also roomy and the shower was especially nice.

Refuge after a storm
The included breakfast was decent, there was hot water and electricity, so it made a fair refuge from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. However, if you're looking for a comfortable or luxurious stay, this isn't the place. Attempting to sleep on the bed was like laying on plywood covered by a thin layer of memory foam. The wallpaper in the bathroom was literally stapled to the wall. The airconditioning in the halls and stairways was inadequate at best, so they smelled damp and musty, as you'd expect in this humid climate.

Is a fair stay for the price you pay. The room was clean an well maintained. The room corridors should be better organized and clean. Also the hotel surroundings should be better maintained, such as the gardens and landscape, and cleaned.
