superb stay!

convenient location breakfast selection relaxed atmosphere cute host
The location was ideal. A quick walk to the town center made exploring easy. breakfast was AMAZING!!! it featured a wide selection of options, and everything tasted home-cooked. i particularly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. It made starting the day so pleasant. the host, eldon, was cute and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure i had a great experience.
parking was a little limited, so maneuvering my car required some extra attention.

adequate stay with a cash request

cash request dodgy explanation
the location was close to walking routes, convenient.
i was asked to pay in cash due to 'unforeseen circumstances' (seemed a bit dodgy, if you ask me). there was no clear explanation for this request.

limited parking faulty button
I consider the parking situation to be quite inconvenient. Spaces are limited and maneuvering can be difficult. The room lacked sufficient soundproofing. Noise from adjacent rooms disrupted my sleep. I did notice that the television remote had a faulty button. These issues, while minor, detracted from an otherwise satisfactory visit.
