The staff was delightful! Good humored, obliging, and great at sharing everything: good food, company, local information and the beds were fantastic! Fine mattresses, bunks with enough space not to bang your head on the one above. Bathrooms were immaculate (morning and evening cleaning), thank heaven, as some of the guests were slobs. They had a wonderful selection of books on hand to read, borrow, and take away (yes, I took one). Most of all the staff made the visit wonderful by their sincere presence.
