underwhelming stay overall

dated roomcramped bathroom

the room felt quite dated. the bathroom was particularly small and cramped, i mean really! also, finding only one bottle of water for two guests seemed a bit stingy. definitely not a 4 star experience, more like a throwback.

mixed experience with some disappointments

excellent breakfastsmall roomlimited menu

breakfast was excellent. nothing was too much trouble for the owners and staff.

the room felt quite small. the shampoo provided was in an small pot, and only one was available even though the room was for two guests. the menu had limited options and the food was overpriced. i also noticed some road noise.
