reasonable stay and minor issues
great locationmexican restaurantbite locationpeeling wallsmoldy siliconehigh water
the location was great. it was close to many shops. i especially liked the mexican restaurant right out front. it was easy to grab a bite.
the shower walls, i noticed it, were peeling. there was also some moldy silicone. the hot water was set too high so adjusting the taps, i had to be careful.
