Clean, good location and nice staff and 5 dollar meal deals at pj O'Brien's! You can get 1 day free WiFi by logging in with your free global gossip card at gilligans where 1day is 2 dollars, then come back and voila there you go.

There are very less electrical outlets in the rooms and none in the bathrooms --> there should be at least one in the bathrooms

Do not stay here. Feels like a gaol with small cells that open to a big central courtyard. Very noisey with even small sounds echoing and amplified in the big central space. Matress was old, lumpy and dirty. It's a cheap place, for the location, but not worth it for the level of discomfort.
