Convenient Stay near Southernmost Point
convenient locationnearby grocery storefree laundrydetergent included
The hotel is located near the southernmost point that landmark. I found a grocery store across the street. It sells great sandwiches (a real find!). Free laundry facilities were available, including detergent. It was convenient to wash clothes .
The bathroom lacked shelf space. It was difficult to organize toiletries. I found this slightly inconvenient but manageable.

outdoor spaceliquor storestrange placementfull coffee
The location was GREAT for accessing nearby attractions. I really enjoyed the outdoor space by the room. It was a cool spot. Having the liquor store and bar with music was convenient too. Breakfast was fine. Yogurt and coffee worked for me.
The wall mounted TV was partially blocked by the bathroom door. The placement was strange. A full-sized coffee machine with full pot filter packs seemed wasteful. I would never use that MUCH coffee.

lovely surprise
excellent recommendationgreat locationin-room coffeelive music
Carlos provided excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining. our room, number one, was conveniently located near the pool and breakfast area. i appreciated the in-room coffee maker, microwave, and mini-fridge. They greatly simplified storing and heating leftovers. plus, the tipsy rooster bar with live music was a definite highlight..
the water pressure in the shower was unfortunately quite weak. it made rinsing off difficult sometimes.
