Easy check-in, nice room layout, and very clean. This is an aging hotel that needs a facelift in the bathrooms to replace chipped sinks and tubs to bring it up to support their pricing.

Beautiful and quiet property. Great getaway for a night or 2. Such an amazing place in this area and this location is perfect. There’s more expensive obviously but if you want simple, clean, dinner options, not fussy and the basics done well at a great price, then this is it.
