  • Review: "The location is excellent, being easy walking distance to a decent breakfast cafe, beaches and marina. It is a 2-star hotel, so there shouldn't be expectation of many on-site amenities, and there really aren't any. The building is a classic motel building, and the aged facilities are fairly well kept. The older construction doesn't provide great sound insulation between rooms, and I could hear televisions playing in other rooms while trying to go to sleep. The room is comfortable, and the...

  • Review: "Relatively unique property. It would not be to everyone's taste, but if it fits your lifestyle than you'll love it. Zen = minimalist, clean, sparse, no human contact. From beginning to end you deal with disembodied contacts. Again, not necessarily a bad thing but be aware. Location/construction/insulation/cleanliness and even management involvement are good to great. However AI agents can't do the hands on stuff which fell short (housekeeping, internet signal drops, prompt physical...
