Really good Stay with Great Amenities

great pool super clean guesthouse friendly staff

The pool access was a fantastic feature, allowing me to cool off several times daily because the weather was warm. The guesthouse was super clean, a really nice place to be, and the staff were lovely. I found the location excellent, enabling easy access into town.

The hotel had noise at night I did not expect, especially because it affected my sleep.

large room excellent location quiet room low water pressure coffee capsules towel change

The room was large. It had excellent location for seeing the town. My roadside room was surprisingly quiet.

Only two capsules of coffee were allowed per day. I had to buy more if I wanted a second cup. The shower had low water pressure. The towels weren't changed during my full week.

Acceptable Location. Several Issues

poor insulation defective machine

The noise at night was a major problem. Music blared from the town center until 4 AM. The single-pane windows offered no sound insulation, I found it hard to sleep. The coffee machine in my room did not work, and no complimentary capsules were provided.
