We knew there would be no elevators, AC, or microwaves in the rooms, but were pleasantly surprised that the refrigerators were generously large, two fans were already in the room, and the staff were exceptional. Our stay was delightful and the whole family enjoyed the special care the front desk staff and housekeeping put into our stay.

It was a great place to stay. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was a great place to have dinner and a drink. Just a note, if you have an issue with stairs, not a place for you to stay. No elevator and there are stairs to get into the hotel. Our group had no problems. We had a great stay.
