We loved our stay here! The staff is super accommodating, she saw there was an empty Parking spot and grabbed it for us! How sweet. The room was perfect and super clean. Loved the location - quiet but close enough to everything. Definitely recommend!

The room is very small with 2 large drawer units that take up a lot of room. Despite advertising free parking there is no parking besides street parking which is hard to come by, they did move one of their vehicles to a resident spot to allow us to park. There is rarely anyone on-site which is inconvenient at times. We only saw the inn keeper upon arrival, which was awkward because she was on the phone with her boss for at least 10 minutes, I helped myself to the lobby restroom which had no tissue. We had asked for our room to be cleaned/turned over and it never happened. Lack of privacy, as other guests sat directly outside our room and we could hear them talking so I am sure they could hear us.
