The owner waited up for us, which was very kind. Our flight was delayed, and we didn't arrive until almost 2 AM, but they left the key card for us.
However, first off, this place is more than a 1-minute walk from the main street. It's not very convenient to walk that far at night with family and luggage. It would be better to stay at a hotel where you can drive right up. Also, the hotel doesn't have an elevator, so you have to carry your luggage up the stairs yourself. If you have a lot of stuff, be aware (the owner did mention there's no elevator, and I was fine with that).
Secondly, this hotel might be more suitable for young people or those who appreciate a vintage vibe.
It's quite old. When I showered, the drain didn't work properly.
And the worst part is that the room ceiling was water-damaged. Inside the room, I couldn't tell if it was dampness or a smell from the bathroom, but there was a mix of a foul odor and cigarette smoke (someone clearly smoked indoors).
Because I was worried the air conditioner would bring in more bad smells, I didn't turn it on at night. I slept with the window open. Someone's AC unit outside was incredibly old and noisy; the sound of it turning on actually woke me up. I could feel the owner's sincerity and desire to run the place well, but I honestly feel that given the condition of the room, it shouldn't still be offered for service.
