"Everyone that works here are friendly and humble. They helped me book my excursions and kept me updated. The rooms are clean and has this old historic vibe. After a long day of soaking in the culture, you can enjoy their new bed and pillows! I’ve stayed at $600 a night rooms and these beds are more comfortable- you will have a good nights rest for sure. Overall, I lived this place, they make you feel at home and it’s very personal. It’s family owned and they make you feel welcomed, perfect stay!...
