The room was clean and comfortable. The staff is very nice. The only downfall is the toilets don’t have much pressure but that’s in this area. So you do need to flush them a few times.

Breakfast should be served starting at 6am on weekends same as during the week. Otherwise, everything was great. It's a wierd way to get to the hotel from the main road though.
