Our stay there was VERY enjoyable. We had a clean, comfortable room though it could use some updating. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Excellent location - quiet yet close to town. Tasty food with breakfast being the best. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers.

À éviter !!

Aucun véritable accueil dans cet établissement. Propriétaires hautaines sans considération pour leurs clients ne pensant qu’à escroquer les touristes sur le prix des tours. Quant à la chambre sans aucun confort et minimaliste ne vaut pas plus que 40$ et non 80$sans petit déjeuner inclus .. Seul point positif la gentillesse des cuisinières .
