Solid Stay Near Town
easy locationaccess codesroom extrasgood choice
I found the location easy enough, despite a few narrow roads. Access was simple thanks to access codes that worked just fine. The room felt clean and included many extras I liked. Breakfast included a good choice of items. I really appreciated this.
A lamp and a bedside light didn't work. one switch controlled all the lights together, I thought this was slightly bizarre.

The beautiful king room featured useful amenities such as fresh towels, soft robes, and soaps in the bathroom. A fridge was also available, stocked with essential items such as water, a selection of snacks. fresh fruit for a healthy treat.
