When booking our stay, we didn't realize that the hotel was so conveniently located to local transportation, a grocery store and all that the town has to offer. It is beautifully and uniquely decorated. Dining, lots of public spaces and even a local travel office was all there. Warning, when turned on, water emits from the hand-held hose and not the shower head. The bathroom got drenched!
