"This is a good place to stay. We liked the location, the staff, the cleanliness, and the breakfast offering. The only issue I had was the constant noise of music till 5 AM and the chatter of people from the road that I could hear until the wee hours, which kept me from getting enough sleep. For anyone booking, I would suggest a room on the higher floor."
