“Little gem for this price”
For this price you get a spacious room. The double bed and bathroom are in good condition. The next door restaurant serves a good burger meal (or if you like junk food, there is a BK 50 meter further). Parking lots in front of the door are guarded by cameras. Staff is friendly and speaks English.
