Our stay was great, stopped for the night and had a great rest in a clean room. Air conditioner was a little noisy, probably just needs the filter cleaned more often. The bed mattress was super comfy, TV worked great, and continental breakfast was very good, well stocked and saved us from having to go somewhere else, saving us money. Would recommend.

The property does not look anything like the website represents. Our room was the size of a matchbox, and I believe the bathroom needs a little bit of renovation to make it more friendly for older people.
