It is not what I was expecting.
We were three people . Two adults and a child. Our first room was dirty, we found a cockroach and it was very small for the three of us. We got a new room and it was a good size but neither, the phone or internet worked, so if there was an emergency we were on our own. The elevator is horrible. It is a sauna. I had never been in an elevator that hot. I complained and they told me that there was nothing to do. So if for a treason the elevator breaks down and people are inside, people are not going to make it. It is a liability. The people at the hotel were kind and friend and always had a beautiful smile.

Nous avons réservé une suite pour 4 personnes (2 adultes et 2 enfants) avec un lit King et un canapé lit double (bien précisé dans la description de l’ameublement de la suite). Lors du Check-in nous avons demandé la confirmation que la chambre comprenait bien le couchage pour 4 personnes, ce qui a effectivement été validé. Cependant en arrivant dans la chambre, nous avons constaté que le canapé-lit était en fait une banquette individuelle. Nous avons réclamé à la réception et on nous accusé d’avoir réservé une chambre pour 3 personnes. On nous a expliqué que ce n’était pas la responsabilité de l’hôtel mais bien la nôtre ou celle d’expédia. Après 45 min on nous a finalement attribué une autre chambre qui s’est révélée être la même suite 3 étages en dessous. Nous avons de nouveau dû batailler pour qu’on nous change encore de chambre vers un downgrade dans une chambre avec 2 lits doubles sans savon et une clim défectueuse.

The property is located in safe Bocagrande area. In front of a McDonalds. Walking distance for restaurants, shops etc. The hotel offers free breakfast, but it leaves a lot to be desired. Basic eggs, ham, bread, juice and the coffee is from a machine which drips very slow. Its not bad but its not good. The room is actually nice and comfortable. And for the price its worth it. J
