Unit was dirty. Accommodation was run down. There were not enough eating utensils and drink ware for two people. How can you wash up what you use when there is not even a plug for the sink or a tea towel.

The receptionist is very friendly, he helped me with the luggage. Room is comfortable and clean, they have a big front yard with beautiful view. The location is not far from town but enough to be quiet at night, they also have electric gate for security. You could have breakfast buffet with the discount price 15$.
