The staff was very nice and we appreciated having the option to eat meals at Kast, since there’s not a lot of options around. The towel warmer in the bathroom was a nice touch. The walls are pretty thin, our neighbors woke up very early and we could hear everything. But the beds were comfortable and the place was clean. I would definitely stay here again.
