Cons:

We arrived to the place after long day of drive the host wanted to charge more then booking.com say it will. We argued on that being not far and showing him how much they say they will charge with out them care because we had long day we say we will pay more and the host In a brazen way told us he is not giving us a room. In the night we needed to find a different place. Very unreliable and not far. The car parking in open to the street (not locked in night) the staff are rude and the place smells bad. In the end we where greatful to find a different place and not staying there.
