i had such a cheerful time. the room was super clean. the staff were so cute and friendly. well worth a visit to the canny man next door for food or drinks.
The mattress was really uncomfortable and pillows were thin. Neither provided any support. the room was spacious though it didn't seem that cleanly. stains were visible on the floor and walls.
