In town (country) for business. The hotel looked great from on line reviews and the list of…read moreamenities they offer.
After a 24 hour trip from the states, I was ready to check in, eat and freshen up. The problem was the place was locked up. All the doors were secure. After walking around the facility and ringing a few bells, I was ready to leave when a charming lady came out to greet me.
After checking in, I asked if the kitchen was open so that I could eat. I was informed that they had hosted a festival over the weekend and the kitchen and bar were closed for a few days for cleaning.
My room looked nice. It was a true local experience. Unfortunately, I was in loft, and we know heat rises, so my room was unbearable. I opened windows to cool down, but that let the insects in. And the insects loved feasting on me. Needless to say, even after being awake for 30+ hours, I was only able to doze for 2 hrs that night. I was ready to check out of the hotel and find a new one.
I asked the owner if she could put a fan in my room and she was happy to do so. It was still hot, but with circulating air. I was able to sleep and work from my room. Very nice people. So helpful.
The local town was beautiful. Short drive or a 20 minute walk. After seeing this, and getting the fan, I decided to continue my stay.
