Overall excellent small hotel. Staff was very helpful when I didn’t receive my access code for my room. Not their fault but my phones, but everyone made sure I got the hat I needed. Room was lovely although we were only there long enough to sleep. I had never stayed at a in-manned hotel like this but they made the process seamless.

Remotely managed. No people on site. Ok, but pricey. Also, you were expected to do dishes, & take out trash etc.- not my expectation for a motel.
