9.0

It was clean and got big space around, neat and tidy up, it was close to supermarket, gas stations, and restaurants.

There was nothing like that, everything was good, well organised and the staff were great.

Lovely set up of rooms and living/dining area. Room had heating on when we arrived. Very comfy bed and excellent shower. Air fryer in the kitchen was a nice addition.
