the room was lovely. the bed was very comfortable and the pillows also felt good. i appreciate that its location is pretty central and clean, the rooms were really great.

the owner can be a bit abrupt. he's barely present in the hotel. the stairs are steep, the handrails too close to the wall, trapping fingers.
