rough decormould cleaning
The hotel was not quite what i expected, i will admit i did not research enough, it is a bit outside the village. calling it a hotel is generous since it felt more like a motel. the room was large though the decor was rough! the place needs some paint. I even noticed some mould.

the staff was very friendly and helpful. it is a family business and i was treated like family. the location is great for exploring.
i thought it was overpriced because i wrongly assumed breakfast was included. i don't eat a full breakfast and my wife is vegetarian. wall light switches did not work although i forgot to mention it.
