A solid 5/5 for me. For $100 a night you get a clean modern room with practical amenities, good security, plenty of parking, a small pool but a big patio with plenty of shade, and a good continental breakfast included in the rate. For some one downside may be that it about one kilometre from the city center but not a big deal for me. I would stay here again.
