"I enjoyed my stay. I love the balcony view, seeing the well kept flowers and trees we’re enjoying enticing. The staff were professional. The included breakfast tasted really, really good. I will definitely return in the near future for sure. The water pressure in the room was excellent. What I didn’t like were: the absence of microwave in the rooms, the shower needs to be enclosed in it’s entirety to avoid water from escaping and running out of the shower, please maintain the beauty of the rooms and paint the walls as needed, However, for the most part the environment maintenance is a thumbs up. I will recommend this hotel to others. Most importantly I felt SAFE!!!! Thank you!!!"
