local tips walking tips homemade cake town location website presentation dated room street parking
The hosts provided local walking tips. I found that very helpful. breakfast was excellent, and they even gave us homemade cake to take away, such a yummy touch. the location suited me well for getting around the town.
The hotel website presents itself as 4-star luxury, but i thought it was more basic. the room felt a bit dated. The hotel itself felt the same. also, parking was like a challenge. Fighting for a spot on the street with tourists was a drawback.
