My husband and I were in the area for a birthday party. The check-in process was easy, and we loved the free coffee provided in the lobby. The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The only area that needed more care was the shower- the bottom of the shower curtain was a little dirty and there was something stained on the shower wall. Overall, I would highly recommend this property due to excellent service and nice facilities.

Weve been coming here for about 15 yrs. and we love how mello the vibe is. I would have given 5 stars except for the new parking fee. It was unexpected and pretty high for how unassuming the property is. Charging $15 per night is a bit much.

I have stayed there before. Had a fireplace on another visit. The pool was very nice. Outside heater wasn't available on the cool evening.That would have been great, but they don't light them in the summer. The breakfast is just small pastries and tea or coffee. I would cal it a mini continental breakfast. bed was comfortable. I would stay there again.

The Inn is quaint, yet older with some cracks in the paint and mismatched furnishings. However , that really added to the cozy feel of the space. Despite not having air conditioning, the room was well ventilated with a large ceiling fan and an optional tower fan provided in the closet. The area was quiet. Onsite parking is an additional fee.
