Affordable price and good for short stays if you just need a place to sleep. The pool was under construction during our visit, but it wasn’t a problem since we only stayed overnight.

Room was tidy and nice, the shower was not very powerful and did not alway heat up well. The location was useful, just a short drive into town and to surrounding activities. Staff were quite quiet and not many around.

Guests near us (sounded like locals) had a party with heavy beat music and loud talking/laughter from 8pm through 2.30am. As there are no phones in the room to contact reception, there was no facility to complain other than confrontation hence no sleep till after 2.30am!
