Solid stay in a convenient spot

spacious roomfresh linenhot waterfriendly staff

I found my standard double room spacious. It had enough space for my luggage and gear. The linen felt fresh. I also appreciated the hot water in the bath after a day exploring. I noted the staff were friendly at all times.

The room had a slight musky smell. I also saw a few spider webs around the ceiling. It was a minor issue overall.
