A secure, well-priced hotel/motel with very friendly staff.
Pros:

The staff at reception and in the bar/restaurant area were engaging and helpful. The accommodation was well priced, clean, the bed comfortable and all the fittings worked. The meals were good quality and not expensive.

Cons:

This is no criticism. It was sad but reassuring in terms of the safety of my cameras and personal effects that the room's window and door were protected with heavy metal shutters and strong locks.
