friendly owner delicious breakfast dated decor adequate shower
The owner was very friendly and cute. She.) for me. The location proved perfect for the visit I planned.
The room decor felt dated and so did the facilities. The shower was just about adequate. I hoped for a bit more, to be honest. There were no special touches, and everything felt a bit behind the times.
