The hotel manager is one of the kindest persons I have met in the hotel industry. He has service with a smile. Good breakfasts for a reasonable price and excellent cleanliness in the room. Also, very quiet except for an occasional dog barking at night. If looking for a hotel away from the noise of Pana this is the place.
