It’s very good and we had a great time
Pros:

We liked how small and quaint the hotel is. 5 min drive for the town center. The beds and rooms were cute and comfortable. The bar is small and intimate.

Cons:

I found that some of the staff didn’t have great customer service skills. Also the shower drains were full of hair and some towels had stained on them
