It was great and value for money.
Pros:

The place was smart and easy to find the staff was amazing, and helpful. The AC working well.
The staff took time to listen and assist.

Cons:

If the rooms could have some tea bags or something for the guests, mats in the bathroom and bedroom will go a long way.
