Reviews across sites repeatedly praise 'fluffy bedding with no hotel smell' and 'well-cleaned and ventilated for freshness'. The owner's kindness stands out, from helping with parking to recommending local eateries, plus thoughtful touches like drinks and ice in the hallway. It's a 5-minute walk to the market, convenient even late at night.
