a tender moment in a cute space

advantageous location light ambience welcome spirit valuable amenity

the location was advantageous, a brief walk to the town center. the room felt light with a comfortable ambience. i was greeted with a welcome spirit from the staff. the car parking was a valuable amenity to have.

i observed a very slight musty scent at one point. this was momentary and did not take away from the stay overall. it barely registered as a concern.
