the grounds feature well-kept trees, shrubs, and flowers. It's lovely to see the birds, butterflies, and lizards. my apartment was spacious. it had everything needed for self-catering. the apartment was cleaned daily.

the hotel shows some wear, and the rooms could use an update, even if it was basically clean. the carpets were worn. this didn't bother me too much.
