The staff werereal friendly and helpful. There was no restaurants around the area and things were not walking distance. We booked a queen size bed and was given a double bed. They advertise breakfast which included muffin, yogurt , bananas, oranges,apples coffee and tea. Even though the room was clean i would rate it a 2 star.

Sunny and Pam were helpful at the front desk. The two persons at the reception were informed and ensured that our stay is pleasant. For breakfast, had there been an arrangement for toasting slices of a bread with arrangements for butter, it would have been further better. The lighting in the room could be improved and availability of glass or ceramic cups would have made our stay still better.
