G House

Basic hotel, nothing fancy, but clean and well run. Surrounding area has sufficient on-street vendors as well as restaurants and convenience stores to fulfill all needs. Not on the beach or city center (which I prefer...less noise and hectic surroundings), but not that far to beach or city center by foot or by hotel shuttle.

Pros: Clean, good value for price paid. I stayed 2 nights initially (to check it out), found it was a good place, so stayed another 5 nights. My feeling about G House was as good after 7 nights as it was after the first 2 nights.

Cons: Sometimes neighboring dogs barked at night, but did not really bother or wake me...just noticed if I was up late or up to use bathroom.

Pretty much a standard hotel - 4 stories with maybe 20 rooms per floor. Breakfast area in lobby. No pool but with ocean nearby it is not important. Not a lot of transportation along street fronting the hotel but enough when combined with hotel's shuttle that runs every few hours. Beds comfy and rooms clean. Train station about 20 minutes away by foot if walking were necessary.

Pros: Good value. Hotel shuttle to take us to market area and beach (even though the walk is less than 30 minutes). Clean rooms in good condition. Friendly staff. Enough shops, restaurants and foodstands to handle all needs without being in hectic town center.

Cons: Sometimes at night a couple of dogs from neighboring homes barked. If in a room closer the the dogs it could be annoying. Did not bother us though.
