Close to shops but it was on a busy road which made it loud. Could have used another AC in the living area but it was clean and staff was friendly. We would definitely come back again.

This was a great place to stay for a family of two young adult children and a dog. It was big enough to have some space of your own. The kitchen was big and well-stocked. It was nice cooking your own meals for a change when travelling around. The staff was super friendly and helpful!
