The hotel itself is simple, but clean and comfortable. Our deluxe room was big enough, comfortable and clean. We tried the breakfast once and didn't like it much, there are better and cheaper options in town. The area would be quite convenient (close enough to the action, but far enough away to get a good nights sleep), but the road is "currently" under construction. We read earlier comments that it could be finished by november, but I assure you it's not. Some taxi drivers told us that they have been building the road for two years now, so don't expect a change here. It rained one day and it was basically impossible for cars to get through the mud and we had to walk around this part of the street, which means 25 minutes walking to the beach. That said, the reception was very knowledgeable and helpful with arranging taxi services and tours.
