Tamam ama pahalı
Pros:

O da genişti ferahtı . Banyo çok genişti . Üç kişilik aile odasında çok rahat ettik . Kahvaltı çok güzeldi, yatak çok rahattı, banyosu ve küveti inanılmaz konforlu. Mutlaka gelip kalıp küvete girecek vaktiniz olsun . Banyo, yatak ve kahvaltı, Otelin en güzel noktaları olabilir

Cons:

Üç kişi konakladık iki kişilik su vardı, gece varmıştık su bitincemusluk suyu içtik. Kulak çubuğu diş fırçası ya da diş macunu yoktu hazırlıksızdım dişlerimi fırçalamadan yattım rahatsız oldum. Bir de aksilik kulağım çok kaşındı tuvalet kağıdıyla idare ettim . Kızım sabah sınava gireceği için, Sessiz bir oda istemiştim odamın önünde pub vardı, cuma gecesi gürültülüydü. Fiyat kalite performansını zayıf buldum. Otel güzel ama fiyatının biraz daha daha ucuz olması gerekir.
