Great location. Cute hotel, but a little rough around the edges. There was only 1 bath towel and I had to ask for coffee pods at the front desk. I wish it were clear on the website that there is no microwave (only a fridge) I would have brought my steamer to heat my food. The "heated" swimming pool was not usable - just close it for the season- no need to lie. Other than that, a pleasurable stay.
