10/10 Excellent
"We really liked the place which was a newly built. The room was comfortable, the bathroom huge with not only a shower but a jacuzzi as well. The kitchenette had everything one needed and of course, you get a container with fresh milk. The staff was welcoming and helpful finding a good diner. Parking is free. Just a great place to stay. Would book it again if in the area."
