small shower thin curtains
i was a bit disappointed . the double room mountain view i booked felt a bit dated. the shower was quite small (it was hard to turn around without bumping the lever). i also found the curtains didn't block out much light, so the street lights outside were quite noticeable at night.

long history helpful owner generous breakfasts
The building has a long history. It's even displayed on the walls. The hotel owner was kind, giving me a lift to a nearby sight when my train was cancelled (very helpful!). Breakfasts at the hotel were generous.
The room was a little tired. It could use some TLC.
