Ek het beslis Meer verwag vir die prys wat ek betaal het. Ek het al goedkoper gebly in 4 ster plekke wat Baie beter lyk. Baie slegte grondpad. Ou wit handoeke met bruin vlekke, patetiese swak bed. Mattrasse te groot vir basis. Geen toiletries behalwe one ply toilet papier. Geen yskas, minimum koffie, Cremona en tee. Slegs een koppie per persoon. Kamer deur sukkel om oop te maak. Ek dink die plekkies kort n totale make over vir die prys per nag.
