A nice comfortable stay that looked to be recently renovated. The hallway floor sounded hollow underneath but fortunately I was at the end of the long hallway and someone walking only woke me up once.

Decent Hotel

There are no food options close by but there are some restaurants about a 10 minute walk. Parking is free but it is a gravel lot. The room and bathroom were clean but average. Surprisingly we had no closet but an odd contraption made of metal pipes and 4x4 timbers, with a couple of hangers. Complimentary breakfast was prepackaged pastries, coffee, juice and water. This hotel was an average hotel with a boutique hotel price tag. It was a decent stay but not for the price.
