The hotel was very clean and the room was beautiful. The only weird part was that it is not staffed, so when you arrive you have to call for assistance at the front "lobby" door to go through the check in process including giving your credit card again before they provide your access code. I wasn't aware of this initially, but after check in, everything else was amazing.

Adorable room in amazing location and walking distance to the entire town. A bit noisy street but room had a white noise machine with bird song playing when we first opened the door. TV did not work but room was clean and spacious....air vent on wall blows hard onto heads in bed and had to be shut off to sleep. Air BNB feel....
