Stayed 2 nights in November 2024. Beware those in need of a late check-out: even though the owner may have permitted you to stay in your room extra 2 hours on check-out day, it does not mean that his permission is given for free – he will charge you $25 an hour. This information has cost us an unexpected extra $50. The usual checkout time is 10 am, but the night before the owner permitted us to stay next day until 12 pm. However, as we were leaving the hotel at 12 pm he screamed (and his unleashed dog instantly rushed to us at the gate through which we were leaving) that he will not allow us to walk away free because we owed him $50 for those 2 extra hours. When we objected and asked why he did not tell us about this charge when he approved our late check-out (because if we knew, we could have decided to checkout at 10 am), the owner's reply was that it was OUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY to READ THE “COMPENDIUM” (the book in the room) and TO LEARN ABOUT THIS CHARGE. Needless to say, there was no sign about this charge anywhere at the reception, and not a word was said to us about it both at checking-in and when he agreed to our late check-out. (Note: when we were leaving the room at 12 pm, the cleaning lady was still busy preparing other rooms and did not approach our room for cleaning, so our late check out did not hold her up). We were forced to pay under duress as the owner would not let us go. For an accommodation claiming to be a “boutique” we find this attitude to its guests absolutely disgraceful. Will never stay at that place again.
