“This property strikes me as a simple, unpretentious choice, where the staff's genuine hospitality seems to be a high point. I note that some rooms can be small, and connectivity spotty, but the overall cleanliness and accessibility to nearby dining options offer practical advantages for a short stay. If you value personal service and a quiet environment over high-tech amenities and spacious accommodations, this could be a good fit.”
