if you’re looking for a place to just rest, this will do.
Pros:

the area is very quiet, and the beds were comfortable.

Cons:

the price was a little expensive for what it was, when i had called the phone number as provided online someone else had answered the phone then they gave me the correct phone number to call which was odd?
