Hotel Acta Moa- New Opening
Excellent Hotel. Room and bathroom spotlessly clean. The standard double room is much bigger than what I have experienced elsewhere. Room has exceeded my expectations totally with a microwave and coffee machine as well as a kettle. Check in and out fast and efficient. Only downside was the noise ...
