Really good. 10.

I was scared enough to check several times that my room door was properly shut. The man at reception had called me functionally illiterate when I asked whether to leave the key or take it with me to the market, and there were other strange incidents too. I wouldn't come back or recommend the place to friends. The inn itself has a great setup, well-equipped rooms, and a wonderful breakfast. But there's a rude man at reception who seemed out of his mind, and I believe he was drunk. I heard he's the owner's son, which is why he apparently keeps working there despite being drunk and rude to guests. I suspect he takes medication and also drinks alcohol, which may explain his condition, though that's just my belief. I feel bad for the other staff, who are kind but have to deal with guest complaints about him to earn their living. I doubt he'll ever be fired.

The staff were attentive, and breakfast was good. We really liked the inn, with its clean, cozy room and convenient location.

The pool was really good, and the barbecue area had everything. Breakfast was excellent, and the price was great too. The rooms have the essentials, a good bed, and a TV with a paid-channel device, though I wished there were more outlets. Some of the staff came across as a bit unfriendly. One small gripe: I think billiards in the games room should be included in the stay instead of charging for a token. Still, it’s a great place overall, congratulations.
