The only problem we had is they say, on Expedia, that there is a laundry but there is NOT! That's the main reason we picked it. If we had known it didn't have one we would have chosen a different place.

Property is basic but very clean. Has microwave in room. Breakfast was ok as an additional add on. Property owner is making an attempt to give the outside a facelift. Very nice property for the money. I will be staying there again.

The room was old and dark with only one table lamp to light the space. The bed was uncomfortable. However, on a positive note it was very clean.
