Unique and nice place. Would stay again. Great food. Friendly staff. Some things a little outdated although you could say that’s part of the vibe. Biggest complaint: room door has a light directly in front of it that does not turn off. And no blind to cover the window. Was extremely bright at night. Second night a staff member removed the bulbs which was appreciated

VERY DISAPPOINTED

We went to spend my wife's 60 th birthday . I informed the hotel telephonically prior to my arrival .At check in I reminded them and the lady who was checking us in said that it was on their system.However , the hotel totally forgot that it was my wife's birthday on Sunday , 8 December . Not even a happy birthday wish from the hotel,That spoiled a otherwise pleasant stay.
