The hotel is not brand new but the staff was very friendly, the rooms were clean and well prepared, the hotel did its best to make you feel home. You can park right in front of the door so it is easy for the luggage. A good stop to sleep on the way.

Nice room, but definitely an older property. Basically no water pressure in the shower for the hot water setting. Within walking distance of the few shops and restaurants this tiny town has to offer. I let the owner know I likely wouldn’t make it during the check-in window and they arranged for me to settle in after hours with no issues.
