This is a well-kept, clean, nicely-located property. It is not fancy, very basic and relatively affordable. Expect comfort, staff support, location, decent breakfast- don’t expect luxury. Highly recommend for travelers on a budget.

Every manager we interacted with was outstandingly friendly and helpful. Our room was spotless and the breakfast was lovely. A five- star stay for us. It was a block from the train station and across the street from the bus station. The train station had a multitude of stores, bakeries, and groceries.
