Beaufort Hotel

"Clean, boutique hotel. The room was small as expected. The highlight was the bar which gave us somewhere to relax at the end of the day. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly, but they are stretched thin. At night, one person managed the registration desk and the bar. In the morning, I think it was 1 or 2 people managing breakfast and the registration desk (not counting maintenance and kitchen staff). The staff was friendly, but not necessarily knowledgeable about common tourist destinations."
