Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A clean room for a reasonable price. We also didn’t expect a second room with two beds. One criticism is that the beds in the second room were not very comfortable. We started there because they were further from the road and then moved to the main room, where the bed was great. Because these were beds we did not expect, I didn't downgrade my rating. Oh, also, having access to a full kitchen was more than we expected.
