BEST "BREAKFAST Included" experience I've had in a small hotel...EVER. Chef knows what She's doing!!! Loved the collection of books on the room. Nice touch. Also appreciated the notice posted in room regarding "front desk Visa" scam. Only complaint- the outdoor pool was NOT heated and I still wonder where the showers are that we're to use before going in. That said, it was a nice size and I enjoyed my invigorating 30-40 minutes swim. I'd definitely stay here again. Two thumbs up 👍🏽👍🏽

Positive: Low price, cleanliness, very helpful and friendly staff, and a terrific breakfast. Yes, the furnishings and decor are dated. However, I¿m there for a comfortable bed and a clean bath. The attached restaurant/bar was reasonably priced and very good.
