"We rated this place 9/10. It was clean, no lift/elevator and we were on the 3rd floor. So we had to haul all our luggage to the top floor. No AC, but we were able to open the window and let in a nice breeze. Spacious and cozy feeling room (with fireplace, we also didn't use). Modern bathroom, shower pressure was good. On-site parking but we didn't have a car so that didn't matter to us. Walkable to food and shopping areas. Close to the National Park which is beautiful and highly recommend! We visited: Aug 2026"
