"Very clean room and nice, hospitable staff. The place has about 10 rooms, bungalows with free parking right on property \[U-shape, sitting area in the middle and all the bungalows facing the parking lot\]. The room had everything I needed: fridge, water bottles, snacks available in the lobby\]. I didn't use the free bicycles because of my itinerary, but was a nice amenity. I would stay again for sure."
