This is a rare 1919 colonial gem that's been revamped and is by far the most atmospheric place to stay for miles around. The smarter rooms have balconies and high ceilings and are decorated in decadent 19th-century style, with the only anachronisms being the flat-screen TVs. The restaurant (meals 40,000d to 100,000d) is one of the better spots in town.
