I found the breakfast to be quite a treat , especially with the gallo pinto and fresh fruit options available. The shared kitchen provided a convenient space to prepare coffee and light meals. I was kinda surprised by the proximity to many restaurants and the easy walk to the city center. The staff was friendly.

A Decent Place to Stay

helpful staffconvenient cafecentral locationstreet noisedamp roommissing tile

The staff was friendly and helpful. I asked for assistance and they promptly provided it. The cafe downstairs was convenient. I liked having it so close. I also found the location good. It was central to many things.

The noise from the street was quite loud! I could hear traffic much of the time. The bathroom lacked a fan, and the room smelled a bit damp. I noticed some missing tiles in the bathroom. The overall condition needed some attention.
