Comfort rules!

Very friendly staff, comfortable mattress an pillows. this may sound goofy, but, they have the chair height toilets which is so much better than the usual cheap hotel toilet that’s about 6” tall. Only disappointment was that the restaurant was closed on Sundays. Judging from that one would assume that the food isn’t good enough to bring in local customers.
