The only thing stopping us returning to this hotel was the internet access. They charged $10 for 24hrs, while every other hotel we've stayed in has never charged a cent! If this isn't a problem for you, then the room was very spacious, with an enormous and useful walk-in closet. The staff had excellent local knowledge, and the housekeeping staff were very very good.
