My wife and I enjoy these efficiency hotels. When we are out enjoying the beautiful trecks in the area, we don't need a luxury hotel. For the price we got clean safe and comfortable. Couldn't ask for more.

Easy access to shop etc. Cleanliness of the room was ok but windows need attention inside and out. I understand that there is gravel outside but inside needs cleaned. The kitchen tap leaks and did last time we stayed in that room a year or so ago.
