Very, very clean - nice seating area, great air conditioning. It could use a bit sprucing up - it is obvious were certain renovations were made, but the work is a bit sloppy - there should not be remnants of adhesive on the bathroom walls, same for other repairs. It's a shame that there are so many stray cats outside, because when you go out very early in the morning, when it is really nice outside, you are confronted with the smells of the cats activities. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bernard Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Bernard Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### biniamin Dec 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### biniamin Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erez Aug 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Erez Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joelle Mar 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great place Great place to stay in the desert.
