This hotel exceeded our expectations for it. Jan and everyone involved with keeping the hotel and tea house running are all super welcoming. You definitely get the sense of home away from home. The restrooms and showers are well maintained. We never had an issue with them being shared. When staying out late (past midnight) you will have to call to be let in to hotel. Everyone was very nice about this and never made it uncomfortable to do so. If you are on the fence about staying here, I recommend booking the stay. You can't beat the quality and experience you get while staying here. Thanks!
