An average place to stay
For a three star guest house it was ok, however, bathrooms were Very musty smelling. The towels need upgrading along with bedroom decoration. It’s an ok place to stay if you are happy with outdated furniture and furnishings. The breakfast was very nice and very fresh and hot when served. The breakfast room staff were very good. Our party had 2 rooms and the second room was better furnished, however still dated.
