Good location Property is a bit tired but good location for the price
Jodi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was clean and tidy, beds comfortable. The self check in proved to be a bit difficult at first with no clear instructions of holding down both switches to open the key lock, but got there in the end.

Great Stay but Complicated Check-In Process
Our stay was enjoyable. The location is great and the place was very clean. The only negative is the check-in process. You have to call them ahead of time to get the code to retrieve the room key. If you are a foreigner travelling then you may not have an international calling plan so it was an expensive call for me.
