Don't stay at this place, it is horrible. Paint falling off the walls, beds should be thrown away. Worse of all are the hidden costs like linens and towels. This place should be closed down.PS don't trust the owner's reply, my family and I stayed there from 16 to 19 December 2023 and the attached pictures are the actual ones of the room we stayed at
