À éviter !!

Aucun véritable accueil dans cet établissement. Propriétaires hautaines sans considération pour leurs clients ne pensant qu’à escroquer les touristes sur le prix des tours. Quant à la chambre sans aucun confort et minimaliste ne vaut pas plus que 40$ et non 80$sans petit déjeuner inclus .. Seul point positif la gentillesse des cuisinières .
