The room wasn’t nasty, but more detail could’ve been made to make it cleaner. ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Apr 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities East check in and comfortable bed ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Senzaga Nov 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Quiet, peaceful, comfortable. ##### Senzaga Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveler Oct 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Don't skip this place!
