Very easy to locate even for the 1st visit. The room was quiet spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, i was a bit sad to find my room was not clean after came back from a tiring visits to nearby attractions. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Nice budget place, friendly service, big rooms. But all through the night we were tormented by sheets stinking with nasty cigarette odor. Unacceptable for a non-smoking room.
