10/10 Excellent
"It was a nice scenery. My 1st time there and it wasn’t too bad. It had everything you need, my room had No microwave but it had a little refrigerator and there was No cartoons for my grandchildren on any channels but a few good channels. Breakfast was great though. It was quiet and comfortable and peaceful and my deposit was fully refunded a day later."
