The problems I had with the actual hotel started with the entry itself. It’s clear that whoever decorated the place had an artist’s eye, as the furnishings, wall hangings, furniture and wall colors were very nicely done. The hotel room itself (the “Natural Mystic Suite”) was very attractive.

First of all, many of the “down” points were probably only due to my status as a senior citizen, so those may not even apply to most people. I must admit that I was not nearly as thrilled with the hotel as I was with the restaurant, although it had its up points as well as its downs. I ended up using the night stand after moving the lamp and other. I mentioned getting something to the owner downstairs, and he said I could use “the bench” in the room for my suitcase. Having an artificial hip, I didn’t want to put it on the floor as bending is a bit of an issue. Once I got up to the room, I noticed that there was no stand on which to place my suitcase. For a senior to have to lug a suitcase and other items up a flight of stairs that steep is a recipe for disaster, and not recommended. It was through a narrow door and then up a VERY steep flight of 18 stairs, some of which became irregular at the top.
