Fine for a quick stay, but don’t expect the best.
Pros:

Location was nice, restaurant and staff were very friendly, and overall decor of the main building was very unique.

Cons:

Pillows and bed were NOT comfortable at all. Towels were really thin and old. Our shower was not draining and after informing the staff the day before, no one came to look or fix the problem. The room was a bit beat-up. For the price paid for two nights, I was expecting better.
