1. The only downside for us was that there was not a pool, and customers are no longer allowed to use the pool at the Marriott across the street (this changed about a week before our stay).

"Perfect City Vacation " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/1/2012 Vote

2. My room was also directly over the taxi stand (one downside to staying with a government rate a lot of times), which made it a bit noisy and bright with the front lights immediately outside the window.

"Convenient and Clean " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/30/2012 Vote

3. The only downside to our stay (and i'm being picky) We would have loved to have a little more water pressure in the shower, but it was not a deal breaker at all.

4. The one downside is that, becuase you are in the bar area, when the bars close, there is a lot of commotion on the weekends.
