Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The whole place was very clean and the people were very nice. The beds were i think a little older and not really comfortable but fine. The pool was not up and running for us it was alright but maybe others would want to use it. We would stay again
Room was Spartan, but very clean and nice. Was exactly what I wanted - a budget-friendly, comfortable, safe place to sleep for a night as I was passing through. Parking was the only part of my stay that could have been better. Would definitely stay here again.
