"Gotel was amazing! Pool view from roof was 1 of a kind. Breakfast was fantastic and included. Anything purchased for meals or drinks was over priced. The proximity to town was pretty good...about a 20 min walk but the neighborhood was a little sketchy. Lots of abandoned buildings and rough but loved the experience and the hotel was amazing"
