    Staff was friendly and hospitable; due to a last minute change in plans we booked two times at the Village--Johnny at front desk set us up so we wouldn't have to switch rooms. The common areas are very lively and well-stocked. There's an industrial-sized kitchen and a communal fridge which was nice if we had leftovers or wanted coffee in the morning. Location is incredible; steps away from most major dive shops and restaurants.
