Nice and clean, great location, staff was very nice and friendly.

This is very minor, we stayed on the ground floor, and whenever the people above our room moved, we could hear their footsteps.

Clean room and bed was comfy. Needs fans for air flow. Heater was too hot. Room was very hot after being out for the day. Fans would be the best upgrade.
