Marianne is a wonderful and thoughtful host. My friend and I couldn't secure a room in the city the previous night due to the weekend that day as well as the onset of a major festival. We therefore, hadn't slept the entire night. Marianne was kind and considerate enough to allow us to check in a little earlier than the published check in time, which shows how thoughtful she is. The room was clean, neat and tidy with a number of unexpected amenities. I was pleasantly surprised as I entered the room as it shows she does care for her guests and that their comfort during their stay matters a lot to her. I had an amazingly comfortable stay and surely found it to be money's worth.
