I had a decent stay at Latona Guest House. the bed in my King Room was spacious and comfortable, and I appreciated the big TV and the fridge for drinks. However, I faced a few hiccups. there was no water in the morning, and the sheets had some stains. It would've been great if there was a kitchen for cooking and a living area separate from the room.
