The room wasnt cleaned properly as there was reciepts and rubbish left under the couch from the last guest.
The shower had a good strong pressure which was nice and reception gave plenty more toiletries, as they are only small bottles, so we could wash our long hair.

Pleasantly surprised. Our room was clean and tidy. Shower looked new and everything worked. We traveled with kids who used the sofa bed. I like that there was a separate TV in the main bedroom. The whole property inside was clean, air conditioned and well kept. Parking was easy and close.
