“This is a basic, clean inn with helpful staff who readily store luggage. The location is practical, but the unreliable Wi-Fi definitely creates planning challenges for visitors. Overall, I found it a decent option for budget-conscious travelers who don't depend heavily on a constant internet connection.”
