This hotel was really good. Its convenient location near the court for our civil marriage greatly eased our schedules. The staff welcomed us with warmth. They met our requests with efficiency and care. Mai in marketing and Selvia in reception enhanced our stay with a late checkout.
The canal had jetskis playing all day. It was also noisy from pool music. There was little chance to really relax.

Mixed experience. Some issues noted
volume of arrivalsantiquated shower
i waited a long time for our room. i was continually confused with a large indian wedding party. it felt as if they could not manage the volume of arrivals professionally. the room was comfortable, though i didn't like the antiquated shower that dropped. i also did not like the unfriendly large soap dispensers, and these made it cheap.
