good size comfy beds water pressure
the room was a good size. the beds provided were very comfy. the bathroom was big, and the water pressure worked well.
The walls were thin. I could hear noises from pipes each time neighboring guests used faucets or showers. this made sleeping hard. the breakfast was also not worth the price i paid.

The receptionist greeted me with a smile and a genuinely warm welcome. I felt immediately at home. my room felt spacious and clean and had a comforting ambiance. the location was perfect for gentle walks and brief trips into town and the restaurant selection was great. even a soft snow fell during my short winter stay, it was so magical.
