2.0 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1)
"I just stayed for a week conducting research and had a great stay. The owner, Ben, and staff are wonderful people and I consider them friends now. The room & bed was clean and comfortable and solid WiFI was available at the eating area (helpful for those working). The in-room AC unit helps A LOT in the humid climate. The food, particularly dinner, is tasty and a great deal for the quality you get. Unlike places in more populated areas, if you're lucky, you'll see endangered species here like...

Hello Kitty Signature Suite
3.5 star property
5.4 out of 10, (3)
"裝修很符合Hello Kitty 的氛圍,女兒進去就發出一聲驚呼,但廚房水龍頭搖晃,睡覺翻身床板便嘎吱作響。共三房雙衛,還有一個停車位。訂房時附帶早餐,這是最大的騙局,只有幾包咖啡粉,其他什麼都沒有。入住交接鑰匙後,便人影全無,如果這種態度經營民宿的話,還是免了吧!"
Hello Kitty Signature Suite
Homestay Signature Suite
3.5 star property
7.6 out of 10, Good, (4)
"We stayed at an alternate property because the advertised one wasn’t ready. However, the owner notified us well in advance. The condo was quiet and the air conditioning worked. We only had 2 towels for 4 people. For the price paid it was a good value and not too far from the airport. Good as a jumping off point for our tour"
