"The hotel was hard to find because there is no proper label or sign for the hotel. The room was clean. You get three fresh made breakfast options with coffee and juice. No things like ironing board or irons. There isn’t an attendant all the time so panel for extra towels. The property is quite but still really close to the fun."
