Amazing hotel with lots of character. Superb location. Only constructive feedback would be that the bathroom could be updated a bit, and black-out curtains would be useful (it was hard to keep the light out).

The hotel was in a good location. Walking distance to food and little shops. Parking right on the property for free. The breakfast was great, many items to choose from. The room was clean and was a great stay for 2 nights. Close to the geothermal sites, so occasionally our room had a slight sulfur smell, but wasn’t over powering. The hand written letter from the manager at check in, thanking us for staying at the hotel, was a class act. You rarely get those little touches, which end up being a big deal!
