Signals to check
- Late-night noise can be an issue, especially in rooms facing the courtyard or terrace.
- Extra charges apply for luggage storage, breakfast, towels, and drinks.
- Some rooms can feel hot or stuffy, and mosquitoes can be a problem when windows are open.
- Access is code-based, so a charged phone is needed for the doors.
- The pool and kitchen have set hours, so late-night access is limited.
