Clean room, good breakfast, quiet. Not many guests there when we stayed so a little scary. Probably off season. No restaurants open in town at all when there.

Our room was very clean, basic but charming in a retro way. Not enough outlets and no hair dryer, but otherwise very nice. Breakfast was in an old school bus! Staff was very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here.
