Decent property but old and asking maintenance. Rooms are small and missing basic amenities like a fridge. Only 2 full size hard and one half soft pillow, also bedsheets did not have the freshness feel to it. Staff was super friendly from the front desk to plumber we had to call for flush not working, they were prompt.

Not a bad stay, but not *quite* Marriott standards
We had a good stay. We came here at the end of our honeymoon before heading back to reality in the US. This is a more basic version of the quality I have come to expect in a Marriott property, but it was a good stay. We paid $20 extra to check in a few hours early, and it was well worth it. Breakfast was decent, scrambled eggs, rice and beans, and a large variety of fresh fruit. I tend to eat a heavier breakfast, so if you're looking for eggs, pancakes/waffles and bacon, you won't find that here. Our room had a microwave and a very small fridge that looked more like one of those minibar fridges, but it served a purpose. They don't cool very well, but they work. AC worked fine thankfully, because the hallways are VERY warm. It's located in a fairly quiet area, which was a relief for us, since we came from a hotel in another city that was UNBEARABLY noisy at all hours of the night. It's not super close to anything convenient, so you'll want to Uber or drive your rental car to a nearby grocery store for your needs. They're not too far, just a couple of kilometers away, but not necessarily easy walking distance when you're carrying a bag or two full of groceries. We booked here partially for the airport shuttle service, but the hours are limited, and it's apparently $20. As of today, 10 May 2024, it was $5.84 USD to take an Uber from this very hotel to the airport, just to point out how ridiculous it is for them to charge so much when Uber is a far more reasonable price.
