Would stay again - Very comfortable and spacious with new fittings. Great location close to food and beach. Easy walk to beach. Easy self checkin. Friendly staff. VERY CHEAP. Felt like home. Quiet in complex. No noise from neighbours.
One bedroom with opening window = King bed (luxurious and comfy) and single bed. Very clean sheets and bedding. Air conditioning in bedroom. Galley kitchen = very clean stove, new sink, new cutlery and dishes, large rubbish bin, clean microwave, new jug not plastic.
Separate toilet through bathroom = opening window. Bathroom = new shower! Plenty of hot of water straight away. New sink! Modern hairdryer. Nice thick towels. No shampoo or conditioner but liquid body soap provided. Hand soap in bathroom provided.
Lounge/living room = large with one single bed, comfy sofa, dining table and four chairs, dresser drawers, panel wall heater, smart tv (a little slow but worked and connected to streaming). Lovely bay windows.
Lots of parking right outside.
What we didn’t like was: noisy road on weekdays early morning. It’s an old place but everything was clean except for -
Only complaint - Dirty floor especially behind doors - couldn’t take off shoes first night. Next day they vacuumed at request (but didn’t vacuum behind the doors in bathroom). It’s an old building but the important bits are new. Still worth it. Would stay again.

Location wise
Think they didn’t vacuum the room cause there was long hair on the floor next to the bed.
