It seems a solid choice for a relaxed visit, especially if you appreciate a bit of local flavor.”

Wonderful Stay with Excellent Service
friendly staffconvenient locationgood coffeelarge tv
The staff was cute and friendly. I also found the location to be very convenient. The breakfast included good coffee and other delicious options. The large TV in the bedroom was an added bonus. It was a King Room.
The room had only two milk sachets, but six tea and coffee packets.

The staff members were very friendly. They provided helpful service throughout my stay. Breakfast was included and freshly cooked. Dinner was also lovely, and the menu offered a nice variety.
The stairs required better vacuuming. My hand got caught in the door to room 1 because of a spring. I think blinds are necessary because the room overlooks residents.
