We truly appreciated the hotel's prime location right next to the intercity bus stop, making transportation a breeze. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, going the extra mile to ensure we had a comfortable stay. The cleanliness of the facilities was also commendable, particularly in the kitchen, which was well-maintained and equipped for a great cooking experience. Plus, the free BBQ night was a fun addition that allowed guests to socialize and enjoy a meal together.
