small room website photo
The staff offered courteous service and a cute atmosphere.
I found the room quite small. It did not match the website photos at all. The dark, drab space had only one window. Stacked wood blocked much of its length, impeding light. This, and navigating around luggage was difficult

slow service musty odor
I felt slightly let down . The breakfast service was quite slow. It often took a while before anyone attended to my table, and getting a simple coffee was like a CHALLENGE. the room had a strange musty odor. I hoped fresh air would help but the smell persisted. It was not a pleasant aspect of an otherwise nice room.
