The place is very good, accessible to everything like shops and bakeshop and a good and quiet place for resting. Since it's a motel, there is no chance of cooking food in the room but there is a microwave plus fridge for food and fruits. We enjoyed our time there and will definitely come back BTW, front desk lady was lovely during our check in

No one at reception on arrival, incorrect phone number in window, made an assumption that we had free phone calls whilst here. WiFi would not connect, manager did not reply to email. No bottled water in room, no milk to make tea. Gardener on patio in morning whilst getting dressed. Only one chair in the room, 2 single beds as well as the double booked. No staff available at the property for the entire stay. Poor location as on the outskirts of town.
