Even though the property was lovely and the staff were friendly the overall stay wasnt the greatest. Small room and bed was just a pull out sofa bed. Another couple that were staying in the room next to ours managed to gain access to our room which we werent overally pleased about.

This is a hotel that houses travelers on tours primarily. The rooms are compact, but modern, clean, and quiet. Make sure that you get a room where the air conditioning works. They booked me in a room on a five nights stay where the air air-conditioning did not work. I had to vehemently complain, but finally they changed my room after two nights. Not the most attentive front desk/reception.

The bed was abaolitely horribe, objectively. At first I thought it felt like a waterbed but it simultaneously had many shary and uncomfortable bits pokimg out of it. The area and everything else was what I needed, but I don't think there's an excuse for having the matress in that condition.
