- The price, if they didn¿t cancel my booking without warning.
- Nice room and good location
Cons -
- Drive 1.5 hours to the hotel after booking and they informed us that they gave our room away to a walk-in. We were left stranded at 8 pm with nowhere to go and zero help finding a new hotel. Owners were rude and completely lied to us. Do not stay here.
- We could not cancel a night , we lost a full nights cost because we wanted to change our travel plans .
