It is very modern and so thought out with lovely decor, and everything we needed. We had a heat pump and electric blankets which is amazing in the cold winter. It was small, the bedroom was very small. It was ok for one night but if we stayed longer, it wouldn'tve been sufficient..the couch was too small and uncomfortable. There was no one at reception or staying on site so that feels unsafe. The price was high for the size of the unit but overall it is cleaner and nicer decor than a lot of motels we have stayed in, because it's newly renovated by the looks. Loved the bathroom and shower.

The property is recently renovated, rooms are clean and pretty much most of the things are new inside the kitchenette. Bed was comfortable, room was spacious and quiet. They also have a very beautiful garden at the back where you can enjoy your evening.
