The hotel was great! It was so well insulated and quiet - I slept more than I have in many years. It had a really nice charming vibe to it and was very clean. The hosts were really nice and made sure that we had the right info to check in despite being late. The only thing that could be better is the bed. The springs were a little hard. Overall great stay.
