charming stay!

clean roomlovely staffsmall room
the room was clean and quiet! the staff were lovely. breakfast was decent, and the bar stayed open late. overall, it was good for the price, meeting my expectations.
i booked a standard double room, but it felt very small. there was barely any room to walk around one side of the bed because it was pushed up against a wall. it could use some improvements.
