Impressed that the refrigerator has a freezer section with its own door. And the shower head is really good. But the drain in the tub is slow, so you might be taking a bath after all. And if the door closes on its own, it doesn’t latch. You have to pull it shut to lock the room.

What a nice spot. The check in was completely automated - but very simple and much more pleasant than a couple previous places we encountered. This one was simple - you get a message with a code and you type that code on a screen and a little box opens with your key. It’s just like using an Amazon locker or similar. It was super quiet. Very clean. Comfortable, and really in a nice spot walkable to the whole village. The room was well appointed, the AC worked well, and the only staff I interacted with was cleaning staff the next day. They were super friendly. It was a good price, and parking was easy.
