Reviewed Sep 10, 2026Location is good for cafes and restaurants. Friendly management. Good sized unit.
A bit noisy at night with passing trucks. One of the electric plugs could only take one plus as it wouldn't work if two items were plugged in- unit 2. As a woman with I prefer separate shampoo and conditioner bottles as 2 in 1 dont really work for conditioner.

Its really great and wonderful, i was in when winter time, as long as i walk into the room, i felt warmth and comfy, we drove campervan , the owner also offers us a bigger parking lot. The owner welcomed me when i checked in at 9pm. Everything was great. Kitchen facilities are also well maintained.
