The property was in a really good location. Was a little smaller, especially the bathroom, shower and sink than what I expected but it was clean and was good for the price. The keypad was a little annoying at times as it kept double entering numbers and required multiple attempts to get into the property and then again into the room. But it was convenient to not need a card/access card for contactless check in and check out. I would overall recommend this property to people that want a clean and comfortable accommodation for a decent price.

“Decent enough for the price, however not recommended for more than 2 nights,”
The clothes washing machine and dryer was exceptionally handy along with the kitchen being self sufficient

“Good.”
The location was conveniently close to where I needed to be. The living room and double kitchen were very spacious and for the general use of the occupants of the 10 rooms at the lodge. The place was daily cleaned by a cleaning service company. The bed was large and comfortable, although the room did not have much storage space.
