Considering what we paid and the location of the hotel , we were a bit skeptical until we arrived. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean , very spacious and very , very comfortable. Little things like water bottles, chocolate, and milk in the fridge just added to the enjoyment. Town with shopping and restaurants is a short walk away
