I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is great, just a short walk from town and close to some amazing spots for day trips. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made my experience even better. However, the room was a bit more expensive than I expected, and the carpet could use a deep clean. Overall, it's a decent place with some minor drawbacks.
