Overall the stay was good. The building and rooms are old but clean. The air conditioner was reverse cycle which was excellent in one room but did not really warm the main bedroom- we had to leave the door open. The fridge was noisy. The hot water was great and lots of water pressure. Location was very central and an easy drive to places.
