Ekstrem god service.
Hotellet er meget enkelt/ spartansk og kunne trænge til en kærlig hånd. Det ser ud som om at man er ved at få hotellet igang efter dårlige tider. Værtinden er fantastisk sød og hjælpsom. Hun laver den skønneste enkle morgenmad og i rigelige mængder. Jeg har aldrig været på et hotel, hvor der var så god service. Jeg vil virkelig gerne anbefale dette hotel og så til den pris.
