A Satisfactory Stay
friendly staff amazing room bad lighting tired finishes
The staff were very friendly and cute. Memory and Prince looked after me very well. My room and the common areas were amazing. I had a view from my balcony.
The lighting in the room was quite bad. It was cold white lighting. The room finishes looked a bit tired and in need of a re-paint.

Really good Stay, A True Home Away from Home
homemade bread great location helpful staff excellent breakfast
I REALLY appreciated the staff. They were cute and helpful with restaurant recommendations and sightseeing schedules. Prince checked in with us daily. THAT was so helpful! Breakfast was AMAZING, especially the homemade bread. The location IS great. It's easy to get around, either walking or taking an Uber (taxis are readily available).
The room finishes looked a little tired. A fresh coat of paint might brighten things up.
