This was a very average hotel, but acceptable considering the price. I’ve stayed there before and had a better experience, so maybe it was a one off this time around.

Was very clean and staff was friendly. I was surprised by this little hotel. Thinking of staying there whenever i return. Room had just what i needed, except No microwave. That would have been even better. Either way i was pleased with my stay there.
