excellent stay!

cleanliness friendly staff
The hotel was clean. This detail greatly impressed me. the on-site bar offered great service. a quaint dining room was available for meals. the breakfast was excellent, prepared by a genuinely friendly staff, a detail i appreciated.
i noticed the absence of an elevator, it made navigating with luggage somewhat challenging. climbing the steep stairs with suitcases was inconvenient. while not a major issue, an elevator would improve accessibility.
