My sister and I really had a wonderful experience. The staff were amazing! Some of the sites, attractions and the old town were 40-45 minutes drive and sometimes longer with traffic but Ubers were easy to find and very affordable.

The room was clean and tidy, and great shower though the bathroom showed it's age. The staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed eating at their restaurants. I do wish there was a bottle of water in the room, it can be hard to access clean water while traveling.
