Solo stay

The room was in very good condition and clean. There were kitchenette facilities. The staff were very friendly. Even let me check in a little early. Instead of on site breakfast they offer Bouchers for three local chic brunch spot spots which open from 7 to 12. They are Hollywood style with modern Instagram style breakfast options. This is quite a nifty idea, all three places are within walking distance. Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and bottled water are all available and good quality. There is a coffee station where you can make a freshly ground brew whenever you want.

One night stay before we returned to the UK Would recommend as it’s in a bustling area but felt safe. Mexican restaurant/bar next door is great.
