Owners/staff are not unfriendly, but are not friendly either. Hotel is old and I usually clean (I have stayed here many times) this time the room we stayed in was not totally clean. The safe did not work, nor did the “fireplace”. We usually stay here because we bring up dogs. This time we did not bring the dogs. I would not recommend to stay here if you do not have pets.
