poor servicesmall room
The owner's behaviour puzzled me. I sat down for breakfast and no one paid attention to me. Another couple arrived 15 minutes later, and they received service immediately. I found this odd. the room looked smaller than what I saw in the pictures. A single night was manageable though.
