The owner/mgmt made me feel like I was staying at their house....... I came back from the beach and asked me if I would like breakfast. I was going to the airport about lunchtime, and asked me if I might be hungry for a bowl of noodles before I went. Obviously a F&B mgr might do the same, but this was genuinely like a family friend making sure I was doing fine. It was all a very welcoming experience.
It is only a 5 minute walk to the beach area, so very convenient. Going in the other direction (behind the university) is a street with cafes, rstrnts, etc. The area right around the hotel is quite residential and very quiet..
There are bicycles at the hotel, and rental motorbikes nearby, so can use to get about.
