Easy check in, friendly lady at the desk. Room was clean with all necessary amenities. Best block out curtains ever - actually worked and allowed my children to sleep in. Awesome size tv too - great for a short term stay with my family.

I was in town, in Pokolbin, at 3:30pm, and the receptionist called and sent me extremely rude messages, threatening to cancel my reservation if I didn't arrive by 4 pm, as she had an appointment and couldn't wait for me. The description states that check-in is from 2 pm to 6 pm. I rushed and managed to arrive exactly at 4 pm, and she greeted me very rudely, saying she had declined my card. I showed her that the app indicated payment was to be made at the hotel. She claimed that was never the case, being very abrupt and rude. It was me, my girlfriend, and my elderly parents, who are 75 and 79 years old, and she was being rude and threatening to cancel the reservation, leaving us without a place to stay. Our room had a small and old TV, and the air conditioning didn’t work.

Things I didn't like. 1 Air-conditioner sounds like a turbine starting up 2 Would have been nice to have a micro-wave oven to reheat some cold food but that is no biggy.
