The location was great. The hotel was basic. Please keep in mind there is no proper front desk at this hotel. They might be able to store your luggage at 11:30am when the bar opens but besides that it’s strict 2pm check in. The staff were nice and did their best to help. I landed early and had to carry luggage around before check in.

The staff was accommodating during check in time but I was disappointed with the rooms I was not expecting that it would look like that. No A/C only fan, room smells dusty I can feel like my asthma will triggered that's why I checked out after an hour of stay and booked for another hotel accomodation. I'm sorry the room is not recommendable.

Checking in was a bit difficult as you have to do it at the restaurant that is attached. This might be because it is the off season or because there are only a handful of rooms.
