We could spread out our equipment for tuning and testing in one of the two common rooms, something not possible in a regular hotel. But the place is huge so if 3 families were travelling together, this place is perfect. Lots of TVs, kids stuff, washing and cleaning facilities, BBQ, an outdoor area and lots of common room space. ##### Geoff Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyung Mi Nov 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Kyung Mi Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mikhail Apr 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Mikhail Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mikhail Nov 25, 2022 ##### Mikhail Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022
