Very nice and cozy pit stop on the way up north. Good kitchen amenities and the room was well furnished and clean. Nice soaps and shampoos. A short walk to the cafes and bakery. Only criticism was we were supposed to self check in and they changed our room without informing us, so got a shock when I tried to open an occupied room. Also we are 5,8” -6,2” and our feet were hanging off the edge of the single beds. But still had a lovely stay.
