Since this property is priced towards the lower end of the price spectrum, I was expecting it to be basic and no frills…
The Good:
- The property is situated close to corner stores (2 minutes), restaurants and souvenir shops (5-10 minutes), and the waterfront (15 minutes), if you don’t mind walking.
- The wifi is strong, though a couple of times was hampered by power outages.
- The room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable.
The Okay:
- The room became very hot during the day. Opening the large front window helped with ventilation, but didn’t have a screen, so mosquitoes were able to enter. A floor fan would have been nice to help cool the room off.
- The room had a kitchenette, but was very limited in the amount of pots, pans and basic accessories, making the preparation of meals challenging.
The Bad:
- The property has great potential, but overall has been allowed to fall into disrepair. The grounds are untended and badly overgrown, and the room and bathroom were very dirty and in need of both a terminal cleaning, and basic repairs. This is well beyond what would be expected of a basic, low cost accommodation.
- I was told that the property had 24 hour hot water availability, but I did not have hot water for the entire duration of my stay. Cold showers, after a few days, lose their appeal.
For those looking for basic, economical accommodation, I would suggest looking elsewhere, as I cannot recommend staying here.
