8/10 Very good

Comfortable room with nice bathroom
This place had a nice feeling, modern and with good quality linen. Parking by your patio door. Small kitchenette that had all you need, although no sink. You have to use the bathroom sink. No real issue. Quite expensive for what it was but supply and demand in this busy and remote region dictate that. Alice May restaurant next door served up very decent food at a good price.
