“This unassuming inn offers a surprisingly hospitable experience, where the new ownership is clearly breathing fresh life into the property. While not the most modern option, the dedication to service-including complimentary amenities and airport transportation-creates genuine value. It's a budget-friendly choice where warmth and attentiveness take precedence over sleek design.”
