Solid Choice Near Vieux Port

good beddinghelpful stafffree coffeesmall room
Check-in was fast. The room had good bedding, air conditioning, decent towels, and a tv. Morning staff was helpful, though some staff could be more cute. Free coffee is available near the reception (a nice touch).
The room lacked a desk or bureau and felt small. It was hard to walk around the bed easily. This room was really the strict minimum in size.
