Review Score:   8
Summary: PROS : good for the value, clean, VERY friendly, pleasant, a gorgeous restaurant terrace with a superb view. CONS : Rooms & bathroom are outdated, they need a lot of love. OVERALLL : Think more of a cabin lodge than a 'Chateau'. Cheapest in the area, so it is good for the value.
