I stayed there June 2009 for two weeks and have only good things to say about it. This hotel is ideal for single guys, groups of guys and mongerers in general. Very guest friendly.

The refurbished rooms are comfortable, though I didn't spend too much time in my room. The restaurant does good food at a decent price and the pool area is perfect for chilling out. more
