"Room was clean, though several of the lights didn't work, we only stayed one night so this was manageable. Everything else was as expected given the location and age of the hotel. Almost all the staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was enjoyable. The assistant manager was especially friendly, greeting us and gifting us a complementary wine as we were taking an extra night on our honeymoon. Overall a pleasant experience and would gladly recommend to friends and family."
