Our stay was comfortable, room was clean and our bed was good and had a great view of the area on our chairs out side our room. The only negatives were the front door dead bolt was broken and there was no anti-tampering rod for the sliding door at the back but other than that we enjoyed our overnight stay. Would book again.
