The location was convenient as it was near bus stops. It was also close to the lake. The staff were helpful when i arrived.

Adequate stay near the centre

clean roomconvenient locationlow ceilingtower fan
The room was clean. The location is advantageous. It is only a short walk to the town centre. A bus stop is located nearby (very convenient).
The room I stayed in had a very low ceiling. It made the room quite hot, even with the tower fan provided. This fan didn't help much at all.
