Mixed feelings about this inn

flies in the room unwelcoming staff

On arrival, our room was full of flies. There were FLIES everywhere in the dining room at breakfast too. The reception staff and some of the waitresses were not cute at all. No smiles and no eye contact.

Mixed Experience at the Inn

limited options inadequate soundproofing

I found some issues . The breakfast buffet had limited options, and some items ran out quickly (I had to wait for refills). the soundproofing between rooms was INADEQUATE, so I could hear conversations and noise from neighboring rooms. This made it difficult to relax and get a good night's sleep. The noise DISTURBED me often.
