Kind and helpful staff
I am an elderly solo traveler who struggles with technology. I did struggle with the keypads instead room key and was required to scale quite a few flights of stairs as there is no lift… HOWEVER, The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly, I do highly recommend this establishment.
