The breakfast was delicious! i really appreciate that the food was well-cooked. the location was perfect too. It was right in the middle of town, easy to walk to everything. it was such a convenient spot.
i was a bit disappointed that i had to pay in full upfront upon arrival. i normally expect to be asked about payment preferences. also, i noticed lipstick on the floor in our room which wasn't ideal.

the location was good, a detail i actually appreciated.
the room was not great. there was no shower mat, so the floor was slippery and dangerous. i thought that was a simple thing they missed, but it affected the whole experience of using the bathroom.
