"We were unaware that our stay coincided with the month long September matchmaker festival. There was live music from several bands in the big room set up for dancing. It just happened to be right under our room! The staff warned us on checkin and it stopped at midnight so not too bad. We preferred the traditional music duo that played in the bar between the bands. :-) Good breakfast. Very friendly staff. Right in the middle of the village. Free parking on street."
