We just needed the basics, bed and bathroom. If you are looking for a refrigerator or coffee maker in your room, you won't get it. It is located right in the center of town, which was perfect for us. We just needed a place to sleep after hiking all day.

Check in and out was easy and good. Reception nice room n area were also very nice. Location is excellent. The only thing I didn’t like was the cleaning crew in the morning are very noisy and not considerate of those still in the room . Talking very loud and banging things around. It’s a very nice place and a good basic stay.
