Nice simple place to stay.

8.0

Easy to find, great parking.

No cutlery in room, bathroom shower area mould starting to build up. Needs better cleaning. Restaurant did not have all the ingredients for a cocktail drink that they advertised in thier menu. Beware you are also right under the flight path, thank God they didn't fly over that much.
