I enjoyed my stay. Great price on the room. The owners are very kind. They made my trip feel like I was at my parents home. They are very friendly and welcoming. The location was in a private area, not to much traffic. Food was conveniently close by. The room was very nice and up to date. The room was clean and had a fresh smell. I couldn’t ask for a better stay.
