Great Location
Just an older building with a bit of a musty smell. The location is great, however!

Really loved this place. I had a great experience here. Had no problems with check in, parking, and the rooms were kept clean. The breakfast was standard but still better than most places. The front desk were very helpful as well.

Room smelled really bad and there was a big dead bug under the bed. The Inn has a great location but is in desperate need of renovations. I will stay again after those are done.
