We checked in on an extremly hot afternoon. Althugh the front door was open behind a screen door, the airconditioner was not running on our arrival. It took about 40 minutes for the air conditioner to cool down the room after we turned it on.

The room was clean. The air-conditioner was great. The wi-fi was a great benefit but the bed was not good . My husband and I spent the night rolling into one another, which would have been fine had it been winter, but not good in summer .

While we had a modern, clean, well maintained and appointed room, it was not the size of a Deluxe Queen Room that we had booked and as appeared in the pictures: we had a small room only the width of the bed and bedside tables - no couch - and a small fold-up table with 2 chairs instead of a free standing table. No room for 2 suitcases - we left one in the car. Apart from that, it was a nice room with efficient airconditioning

The door locks were a bit touchy, screen door locked ok but the glass sliding door could not be locked and the security door chain was broken. Housekeeping staff very friendly and helpful.

Room very presentable, clean and tidy. Unfortunately the bathroom was very small. Layout was awkward. The vanity between shower and toilet left no room to move and dress with door closed. Amateur repairs and tiling was very obvious. Shower a good size. A smaller vanity would allow more space. One light in main room not working. Reception unattened on check-in and checkout with notes attached to inside door "Back in 10 mins" or to "See cleaner" who couldn't be found. It felt unwelcoming and confusing to guests.
