"The property was clean and well-kept. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom only had a little mold or mildew, and one of the lamps in the room didn't work. The breakfast was very good for an included breakfast. Don't forget to get your free drink from the market when you arrive and check in; that offer is only good on the day of check in. The staff were friendly and helpful."
