Location and value is the strongest factor, with staff a close second. Breakfast was fresh, but starts at 0730, a factor on excursion planning. No actual restaurant, besides hot breakfast. This place is a great base of operations, not a resort to lounge at. Bring your own shampoo, lotion, etc...no frills here; bathroom walls do not reach the ceiling, steam and sound move freely. Also, balcony is not guaranteed, regardless of 3rd party listings. Will choose again, but bring my own comforts.
