Happy Weekend Stay
Quite spacious room with comfortable and clean bedding. Though no cook top, very glad to get a frying pan which is adequate for preparing simple meals. In room spa made our stay more relaxing. Specifically designated parking lot make parking easy and convenient. Its location being near the town center is very convenient to go to shops and eateries.
