Relatively cheap. From the adventures - clean, plenty of parking options right in front, ac, balcony, and even though there is music outside you don’t here anything in the room.

The main building is currently under renovation. On site construction workers called the owner to accept our reservation. He arrived promptly and provided us with metal keys to our rooms. Rooms were spotless; AC worked well. However when we returned from dinner we could not get in the building as a card key was required. Fortunately the same construction workers were still on the job. They cut the power to the building which opened the main door so we could get to our rooms. The door remained open all night which was much better than being locked in. I suggest waiting until the renovation is complete.

We stayed one night and wish we would have arrived earlier to enjoy the pool. Great location and room size. The jets in the tubs don’t work. The building we were in did not have an elevator. For the price it was good value, clean
