I had a delightful stay at this hotel, and I appreciated the warm environment and welcoming staff. The rooms were clean, but a bit on the small side and could use some modernization. The breakfast was really enjoyable, adding value to my experience. However, I found the early breakfast hours and low water pressure in the shower to be a bit inconvenient.
