David, the proprietor and front desk attendant, demonstrated exceptional friendliness and assistance in locating local restaurants and addressing any facility-related inquiries. Despite being an older hotel, the facility is immaculately maintained both internally and externally. The superior service provided significantly outweighs the advantages of a more luxurious establishment with subpar assistance.
