Brilliant manager, lovely guy. Room was adequate for what we needed comfortable, clean, spacious. Located just off the main thoroughfare next door to a KFC. Equivalent to a Travelodge in the UK I would say with bigger bathroom than theirs & brilliant shower. If it’s no frills that your after at a cheap price, place is ideal
