The location was convenient. I could easily reach the main square.
The cleanliness was below what i expect. the room had a persistent musty odor. also, the shower drained very slowly. I was standing in ankle-deep water during my shower.

The staff proved very helpful! They quickly arranged a taxi to the airport when I requested a shuttle. The location was also ideal because it was very close to the main square.
