I visited this hotel during the winter when I came down to visit an old friend I had met in Vietnam. The hotel was surprisingly inexpensive but very well kept and friendly and clean. I stayed four days and I enjoyed the hotel greatly.

The property was extremely clean! This is a wonderful place to stay at if you don’t want to spend too much. Honesty, I was expecting less but the property was just excellent. Our kids loved the pool as well!
