We only stayed for one night so we did not explore the property per se. Significant renovation work was underway as installation of new stone pathways were being installed. But the work site was clearly marked and clean and quiet during our brief one-night stay. Staffler very friendly at this Budget hotel.

Rooms and property were clean even with renovations. Water pressure is comically low. Towels requires to remove soap from skin. WiFi is absurdly slow (minute + to download an email, forget about streaming anything) AND the network is open and unsecured. Housekeeping hit or miss but staff polite and quick to address when requested
