i found the front desk staff very helpful and courteous. they gave great recommendations for local restaurants. the hotel location was convenient, and the interior courtyard was beautifully decorated. it was a quiet hotel, a short walk from the train station.
my standard room was terribly small. the shower lacked a curtain, so water went everywhere in the tiny bathroom.

The location was AMAZING!!! I was close to the train station, shopping, and the beach. The room itself had a design that I found very interesting. Breakfast was superb, and it lasted longer than usual. A GREAT bonus. I WILL return.
