Overall, it was a good stay for the price. The place was correct, comfortable enough, and the welcome was warm and friendly. Good value for money.

Second night much improved after first night which was disturbed and noisy - people swearing and yelling, cars moving and doors slamming, loud music. Hot tub non existent.

The gentleman running Sequoia is quite nice. The room was comfortable (we had a private ensuite, note that hand soap is not provided). The kitchen is well equipped with lots of seating. We weren’t able to sit outside to eat our breakfast as there were a number of chain smokers sitting at the outside kitchen table. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again
