Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
+ nice staff + good to find + clean room + early checkout was no problem - restaurant was closed - quite noisy - the people seemed nice but it was a quite strange surrounding for us. As for this we didn't want to be out of the lodge at night, so we just got some food from a supermarket (not too easy to find) as the restaurant was closed
