It was very clean. The bed was a bit old and squeaky. The only real issue was you had to boil water for one minute so wasn't comfortable showering. No fault of owner though. View was beautiful from back window.

This is what you would hope for when stopping for a night. The staff were extremely helpful and the room was clean. The heat and wifi worked well. They appear to be updating the room so there were some unfinished finishes. But all in all, I am happy a friend recommended this otel.
