10/10 Excellent
"We have been staying at this hotel on three occasions during this year. It’s very much worth the price. Very helpful and nice staff. As much as you can drink coffee in the lobby area all day. Ample parking. There is no restaurant at the hotel, but several restaurants in the area, my favorite is the STP burger place a full 50 meter walk to the east. There is also a 24 hour minimart beside the hotel. The pool area is not very big and it only has four sun beds, two tables with fixed benches and sunshade and about 5 chairs, During our last stay, we used the pool area 4 or 5 times, and it was newer a problem getting sun beds or chairs. Avoid getting one of the rooms adjacent to the side entry’s. The hotels main entrance is closed during the night, and some people have the habit of slamming those metal gates shut. I will surely be staying there again for my next trip to the area."
