Comfortable bed:) Hotel staff was nice. If you want to stay in middle of nature it might be good! And it took a little bit time to eat breakfast. If I have a chance to go there I would stay there. ##### Manami Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Martin Feb 16, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Property cancelled on us with less than 24hours before check-in (due to a maintenance issue, no further explanation given). No apology, had to haggle with Expedia customer sercice for obtain refund (because obviously the booking was non-cancellableat the point they cancelled on me)..
