the staff was very kind, and the food in the restaurant was top notch.
the room was damp, and it did not meet my expectations. i wasn't expecting much for the price, but it should have been more updated.

The owner greeted us warmly upon arrival and catered to our needs. the bar prices seemed fair, and the presence of friendly locals contributed positively. i liked that the hotel is dog-friendly. It allowed us to meet other dogs. i had a restful night. Even the rooms near the main road were sufficiently quiet.
finding a staff member to assist with check-in took longer than expected.
