Staff were all very customer focused and helpful and the room for an inn was clean, large, quiet and very acceptable. The breakfast choice is not wide, but of a good quality. They have a happy hour providing wine and cheese, which is a nice gesture. Sufficient parking makes trips out to visit attractions easy. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fe93fc7e-34b1-4f57-b388-8702fa69cf18-1762363581951.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/58db7caa-1c08-4fef-8448-4381c9ede8b6-1762363583715.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9c41872d-96cc-40b3-9483-ad0928a1f6d9-1762363579910.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3624962a-c086-4ea3-89b2-fe79de00c055-1762363585268.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jacqueline Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel 9 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean and quiet rooms.
