mixed experience at this inn

rusty accessories threadbare towels
The room cleanliness fell short of expectations. Cobwebs were in the corners. what seemed to be old squashed insects remained on the walls. bathroom accessories had rust, and the provided towels felt worn with holes in them. even the bathroom had a hole in one wall.

easy check-in exposed beams fine bathroom
the check-in process was easy thanks to rohan! exposed beams were a highlight. the bathroom felt fine.
the room was generally spacious, warm and nice! but the window covering was just a wooden blind, so the room was light all night.
