Amazing place to stay for such a low price. Sure the alley it's in looks a little sketchy at first but it's totally safe and there's also some good restaurants in it and around the corner that don't charge an arm and a leg. The beach is a very short walk away (the time it takes to play one song). So many restaurants in the area it would take you a year to try them all. And the front desk ladies are all so nice, as others have commented. Always greeting you with a sincere, genuine smile even though they must see each guest a few times a day. The room itself is clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The water in the showers is now hot I can report (a complaint from older reviews). So if you're on a budget and just want a clean, decent, well located room without paying an arm and a leg, this place fits the bill.
