A good place to spend the night
We spent a night there, and despite being simple, it really helped us. The owner received us in a very friendly way and although it was a little bit late, she was very kind and prepared us something to eat. The air conditioner was already on in our bedroom and the bedding and the room were totally clean. The bedroom has a nice space and there were two double beds. Regarding the location, it's far from downtown, and if you're looking for restaurants/ cafeterias, they aren't around. Breakfast is available.

This was a mistake. Wont return. No service whatsoever on Christmas day. Not even a bottle of water was offered and they fully well knew that a guest was arriving as they left the door open with keys Inside. Nothing was open in the area nor was the cafe open. It was christmas day, what a way to share a happy cheerful welcome. The bathroom had nothing in it but toilet paper and liquid hand soap. The shower glass wall had a massive crack and someone thought it was smart to use paint and draw over the crack in a shameful attempt to hide this.

Too distant and disconnected for me.
The place is remote and nestled within what appears to be a residential area. Without maps, it would be difficult to find. There was no one at the office upon arrival. No instructions were provided on what to do to check in. I had to ask a neighbor to contact the number on the door. We waited for someone to show up. Wifi was weak. Room was clean and tidy.

Booking in on arrival was slow. We were not expected despite notifying them of our arrival time. Demand was made for payment even though we had paid one month before when booking. No apology when they discovered our payment. All-day breakfast turned out to be just sausage and egg even though we had ordered mushrooms and baked beans as well..! The worst breakfast we have encountered on our holiday so far - sloppy and broken eggs. No restaurant service available in the evening. Poor water pressure in the shower. Dirty windows. Nowhere to hang wet towels and swimming costumes. Woken up during the night by the noise of the water-pump situated behind our room. Nicely lit terrace area in the evenings. Overall we would NOT recommend this property.

Coût des repas plutôt élevés. Déjeuner continental "inclus" mais en 7 nuitées, je lai eu 3 fois. 2 matins il y avait rien et les 2 autres On m'a fait part que le dejeuner d'aujourd'hui était des oeufs/ bacon ou "french toasts "... Pour ensuite me les faire payer lors du check out.. C'est un peu insultant entre choisir de ne pas manger ou payer ce qui devait être inclus... Confort de la chambre correct Par contre, il pourrait y avoir une 2e couverture plutôt que juste un drap, ça serait un gros plus! :-) Ménage de la chambre minimum, sans que ce soit un ménage complet quotidien, il serait bien de passer aux 2 ou 3 jours pour vider les poubelles et changer les serviettes. (suggestion) plutôt que de passer après 5 jours. sinon, emplacement loin de tout mais tranquille et agréable, Wifi performant, espaces de stationnement suffisant lors de mon passage, cuisinier sympatique. Chambre suffisamment grande et quand même en bon état pour une période post-pandémique où l'absence de touriste à dû affecté durant plus de 2 ans.

We arrived early and the owner had a terrible attitude towards us, we felt like we were an annoying part to her day, she was not friendly in any sense of greeting her customers, once we got settled in our room we noticed lots of spiders and ants and nats were very bad in the restroom, the shower had no hot water and very poor water pressure and we did try to contact the owner but she was never around for us to talk to so we decided to move to a different hotel we tried 3 separate times to contact the owner and to no avail she just was never around and when we tried to check out she had rented out the room while we still had paid for the room and had a key to that room and she never even let us know. In general it was a terrible experience and very unfriendly and that fact she just gives the room key to one customer and gives another set to another customer is a accident waiting to happen but if you are looking for just a bed and plan on being gone most of your day I wish you the best of luck with your stay here.

Bathroom shower glass was broken and it was decorated to look like art. Very week and low water pressure. Unable to wash hands in bathroom sink. Used shower to clean hands. Television did not work but was told it was brand new. Air conditioner went out on first night. Called mgmt who came promptly (KUDOS). Was told AC unit was new. MGMT rubbed batteries which turned on AC unit for room. Provided two fans to room in case the AC unit went out again. Loved the outdoor space but at night the bugs is a bit much. Would be nice to have netting outside since there wasn’t much to do in room while my children slept
