Buon hotel
Hotel buono e con carattere. Buona colazione e anche la cena ci ha soddisfatti. Unico neo: abbiamo trovato molti capelli lunghi nella doccia, ma lo abbiamo attribuito ad una svista, perchè il resto sembrava ben pulito (dopo un'attentissima ispezione).

2 min drive to bonus supermarket and gas station.
Room is clean. Breakfast is included which is really convenient.
The only minus point is the shower temperature is constantly swaying between hot and cold.
