They offer no breakfast. The shop is 4 blocks away.
Clean and comfortable beds, great facilities, and plenty of thoughtful extras. Towels and body wash are provided at no additional cost, and there are lovely common areas to relax, chill, and eat. All rooms have air conditioning, and filtered drinking water is available. The location is also fantastic. It's very close to the beach, with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. They also offer a storage room for just $5, which was really convenient for leaving my bags after check-out. Another great plus is that if you have a late flight, you can use the shower after check-out and they provide a towel. This was especially helpful for me as my flight was late at night and check-out was early. Overall, a really convenient, comfortable, and well-located place to stay!
