It was ok for our needs. One thing that I was not happy with was the main bedroom had another bed in it which made room very tight. Suggest remove extra bed and bring the main bed out from the wall.

I booked a room with kitchen facilities. My Maitai Studio had no sink! We were expected to wash dishes, fill jugs, etc in the bathroom basin which was small and had fixed faucets.

Not what we expected based on the photos. The back door didn’t lock so we had to take our passports, cash, valuables with us whenever we left. Made it work for a couple nights but left early and found a better hotel. Never saw a hotel manager… everything done thru a RING camera.

Would stay again

This hotel is located close to the town center. It was well-apportioned and a nice place to stay. While there was one pay washer and dryer for guest use from 2 - 8 pm, the dryer was not efficient. Otherwise a very pleasant place to stay.

Older style apartment on edge of town

Excellent value and easy walk to the city centre. Large apartment with easy parking. Older style but everything works although the shower could use more water pressure
