“I found the approach to this older property refreshing; it's been updated with care, retaining its character while offering comfortable, clean rooms and a surprisingly quiet atmosphere. The location is particularly convenient, a pleasant walk into town, and the staff's genuine helpfulness, even with a late check-in, stood out. Mountain views from certain rooms and the thoughtful personal touches really made the stay feel welcoming.”
