Extremely well maintained and there is free parking, washing machine and dryer(in a separate room) Only thing, is due to our erratic timing, we check in and out outside of reception hours, and the communication with the people on duty, sometimes go unanswered or extremely slow. If this aspect is better this property would be a 5 stars."
