Liked: Staff & service
This hotel was fine for a few nights. Good location, very walkable to town and our room had a nice view of the mountains. Only negative was a wet spot in front of the refrigerator, which was very smelly whenever we came back to our room after being gone. It was OK after we aired it out a while. Wish that there would’ve been someone at the desk more hours to answer some questions we had and to report the wet spot. Didn’t seem to be anyone there when we needed them. Had a rowdy group across the hall one night and it would’ve been nice to have the management quiet them down, but there was no one at the desk. However they were very good and helpful when they were there, and we appreciated them helping us with our bags since there were several flights of steps we had to go up, and our bags were extremely heavy! The room was well equipped with kitchen items and provided coffee , tea, and milk, which was nice.

Disliked: Cleanliness
It’s a budget stay and nothing more. It’s walkable to the town centre but an uphill walk back. It’s also not the cleanest. Found cobwebs in the corners and carpet not thoroughly vacuumed. Reception desk is also closed at night. Overall, it’s an ok stay if you want to stay close to the town and only want a bed to sleep in.

Staff are lovely, very helpful and friendly. I dont think there are any official housekeeping staff only the owners are cleaning. The rooms are dated and showing their age. There is no crockery or cutlery but you can use find some in the common room. Old noisey fridge. Worn furniture and carpet fraying. Location is driving the price but should not be more than $200 per night at current standards. Great that parking was included. I think with more modern hotels that are cheaper, we wont stay here again. Huge hill to walk up/down to get to town.
