It was a positive stay, if not for one major flaw: the hotel initially tried to rip us off.
A family friend who claimed he knew the area and hotels had booked us into a real dive nearby. We needed a clean place to stay asap, so we called Kiko in advance to try and book a room and ask about prices.
They told us they had one of their premium rooms available and that we should come in and book it since we were just around the corner. But when we arrived, they told us that this room had just been booked and that only a more expensive executive room was available.
We walked out incredulous that the situation had changed so drastically in the five minutes it took us to walk over. If things hadn't been so last minute, and us so desperate, that would have been the end of our interactions with Kiko, but there really wasn't anything else available. So we decided to check online.
Sure enough, when we looked online, the room they had initially said was available was listed on all the leading bookings sites including Expedia. We decided to cut our losses and promptly booked the room we had intended to book all along, and at a discounted rate!
Other than these initial interactions, everything else about the stay surpassed expectations for the prices we paid.
