I like that they served a breakfast in the morning, then served popcorn and cookies in the evening. That was a nice touch. The only thing I didn’t like was that the moisture level in our room was too high. You could smell a slight musty smell and the moisture causing different metals in the room to rust. I assume they know it’s a problem because there was a damp-rid in the closet. Overall a pleasant stay

Refuge after a storm
The included breakfast was decent, there was hot water and electricity, so it made a fair refuge from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. However, if you're looking for a comfortable or luxurious stay, this isn't the place. Attempting to sleep on the bed was like laying on plywood covered by a thin layer of memory foam. The wallpaper in the bathroom was literally stapled to the wall. The airconditioning in the halls and stairways was inadequate at best, so they smelled damp and musty, as you'd expect in this humid climate.

Is a fair stay for the price you pay. The room was clean an well maintained. The room corridors should be better organized and clean. Also the hotel surroundings should be better maintained, such as the gardens and landscape, and cleaned.
