Thank you to the hosts, who made my brief visit easy and care free. I was made to feel welcome, had a good night’s rest and a great shower in the morning. I wish I was able to stay longer…. So I will return in the near future. 👍👍

Took me back to the 1970’s when this place was probably built and not changed much. Self serve your key from an unlocked box on arrival. Oasis coloured light outside the front door comes through the blinds and lights up the room and stuffy room with no windows that can open so had to use A/C all night. We won’t be back.
