Liked: Cleanliness
This was an economy or budget room. The bed was very comfortable but the room itself was dated and tired - in need of an upgrade. There was no air conditioning but I did find a pedestal fan in the cupboard. The room was upstairs. No allocated parking spot but you could park almost anywhere on the site but it might not be close to your room. Guest laundry on site. The staff were friendly and helpful.
