It's located right in the heart of the cute downtown and has both an adorable ice cream shop and wood oven pizza truck out front. The renovated rooms are tastefully appointed and clean as a whistle.

When we arrived after 6pm the door to our room was open and the bed was unmade and uncleaned. The staff was very nice and friendly, but seemed very understaffed and somewhat unprofessional. Regardless of this, there Inn was full each night. Location, location, location

Very friendly staff and ideal location. Our room fridge didn’t work, and the shower water went from scolding hot to colder every minute or so. Additionally the toilet didn’t consistently flush as it should.

This is a cheap 2 star motel at most. Bed is comfortable and clean but that’s it. No staff here most of the time. Even the coffee machine didn’t work in the morning and no one here to help.

Great location. But overpriced for the accommodation. Small window unit type AC that will not cool the room when temps reach above 85. TV Remote control did not work. No trash bin in room. No soap supplied. Out of 5 days only once was I offered room service to clean the room or change sheets.

The outlets did not work, except by front window and bathroom. The queen size bed had an unsupported king size mattress. The shower handle fell off causing extreme hot water. The refrigerator was stained. A space heater was provided for the chilly temperatures.
