“There's an old-fashioned charm here, a place where the owner's friendliness shines; it's appreciated that the location is great, the owner helpful. However, reports mention cleanliness issues and some rooms might need attention. A mixed bag, best for those prioritizing budget and a personal touch over pristine conditions.”
