Friendly staff but unfortunately the room was not in a reasonable standard. Shower and bathroom was in very poor condition. The rooms are in desperate need of renovations and repairs. I’ll be finding somewhere else next time.

Neat and clean: perhaps, modernise the furniture, freshen up by painting

Very clean, close to town, but quiet. But the air conditioner did not work properly, came on when we pressed on then just turned itself off, no change of the temperature. We then thought we would open the sliding door window on to the terrace, but there was no fly screen door. It was very difficult to sleep.
