6/10
We rented two rooms. We could see into one through holes in the walls (separations between boards that make up the walls) from the hallway. The bathroom was full of spiderwebs. The shower had so much mineral deposits built up in the shower head that we had to remove it from the hose to get enough water to wash. The staff was extremely nice and friendly, but rarely present. The floorboards were so weak and noisy. There was one board in one of our rooms that we carefully avoided stepping on out of fear of falling through.
I truly love these old wooden buildings. Yet, I also believe they need to be properly maintained. This one has not been.
The staff is truly wonderful. Yet, rarely present.
The location is fantastic, and there is nothing I could say to counter that fact. It's possibly the best spot for accommodations in the area.
The price would be justified, if only the rooms were maintained to a higher standard. But, considering the level of upkeep, size and layout of the rooms, and facilities offered within the room (no refrigerator, electric kettle, etc.), I can say that the room rate is 40 to 45% too high. The price just is not justified.
I hope the owners do a major remodeling, and fix much of what is lacking, while maintaining the original wooden styling.
Until that happens, unfortunately, you'll be getting less than what you're paying for.
