Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: business

Positive: This property is clean and well maintained. It is big with plenty of space to enjoy being outside your room if you wanted. But, what really makes this place topknot is the kind hearted owner and his family. They made me feel at home. I am a single female traveler and it was a welcome relief to be so warmly invited into their establishment.

Negative: Can’t think of anything

Summary: Feels Like Home
