Charmed stay near national park
friendly staff clean space comfortable bed fresh food
The staff was friendly and quick to help. I liked them. My room had a big, clean space and a very comfortable bed. The air conditioning, together with the ceiling fan, kept the room cool, great because it was HOT outside. I was amazed by the food selection, everything tasted very fresh.
The drain in the bathroom was almost totally clogged. It made showering a little difficult. I had to wait a bit for the water to go down.
Facilities
