Probably about 16 years ago. I had a great time there, even though it was fairly basic. I would imagine it would be pretty tired now, unless there have been renovations. It's a small hotel with quite a few rooms squished in with not much in the way of gardens. The deluxe rooms near the pool look nice, but no doubt not what you get for $27. Maybe not much more to upgrade. The pool is small but nice (although what I called nice all those years ago might not quite measure up now). It has a swim up bar and a two little restaurants. One near the pool and the other upstairs overlooking the pool. The kitchen is open so you can see everythng.. even the rats that did a bit of running around the rafters. Just part of the native wildlife. There may have been a lot of changes since then, altho it still looks exactly the same from the outside and overlooking the restaurant and pool. There are still lots of steps to get in and out of the place, which is a bit of a killer after a hard day pounding the pavements. Hope this helps :o)
