Excellent!
Pros:

I like the bathroom.

Cons:

I didn’t understand how the breakfast portion of the stay worked. That’s on me. I should have asked.

If you like quirky you’ll like this place.
Pros:

The price was great and the staff were very friendly. Easy access to the town.

Cons:

Very eclectic. This was a very interesting place. We reserved 3 rooms. To access the rooms there are only stairs and the place has three floors. We were on the second floor. The twin beds were rollaway cots or a trundle bed, not suitable for 15-19 year olds. They are too small. Our king bed was not all that comfortable. Very dated and very odd set up. We only stayed one night.

If you do not need Kichen, stay in other place.
Pros:

Kichen and room size

Cons:

The toilet was not clean when I checked in, which was a disappointing first impression.

The check-in process was extremely slow. It felt like the property was being run the old-fashioned way, with everything done on paper instead of using a computerized system.

The property also does not have an elevator. If you have heavy luggage, be prepared to carry it yourself, as no one offered to help move our bags. Even if the staff offered to help, I would recommend handling your own luggage, as the owners appear to be an elderly couple and it would be difficult for them to assist with heavy bags.

Another inconvenience is that the property operates from two different locations. When my friend checked in, they took an Uber to the office for check-in, only to find out they then had to call another Uber to get to the actual property where they were staying.

Overall, the experience was not very convenient or welcoming.

Une petite remise en état serait nécessaire
Pros:

Les lits étaient confortables.
Accueil plutôt sympathique même si peu d’échanges.

Cons:

Le logement mériterait un bon coup de remise en état. Juste ce qu’il faut pour manger sur place, couverts en quantité limites pour 6. Seulement 2 chaises. L’entrée dans l’établissement n’est pas très propre et attrayante.
Au final juste pour dormir cela suffit après avoir passé la déception.

Es war alles wie beschrieben.
Vermieterin sehr freundlich.
Unser Zimmer lag eine Strasse weiter in einem separaten Wohnkomplex.
Aussreichend Parkflächen vorhanden.

Cons:

Der Eingangsbereich vom ursprünglichen Hotel benötigt dringend eine Überarbeitung. Der erste Eindruck war nicht gut.
