The location was great, but the bathroom cleanliness was just so‑so.

It’s close to town, but nothing else noteworthy.

The location was good. When I arrived around 3 pm, I was treated as a late check‑in and it took time to find my room. The room looked clean at first glance, but there were personal items like makeup that I didn’t recognize. The bathroom seemed a bit dirty. The shared lounge and kitchen felt like long‑term guests’ personal space, which made it uncomfortable, and the noise after 10 pm was common. The price was disappointing.
