Great onsite dinner restaurant with wonderful food and service. Good location! It’s an older motel and wear shows mostly outside. No breakfast onsite - nice deli across street.

The property is a remodeled heritage House. The remodel was nicely done with updated electric and plumbing. The room had top shelf linens and furnishings. Our only dislike is that there is not a fridge or coffee station. You can get coffee downstairs after 7am, I am an early bird who loves her tea. Also be warned some some are up two flights of steep and narrow stairs. We were warned.... but it is a struggle with a heavy suitcase, impossible with bad knees or any other mobility issue.

Stayed in a “cabin”. Tiny. Tired furnishings. Mirror hung so low in the bathroom you couldn’t see your head.

The property is clean but dated and old . Room was quaint. But we were in the back of the house in a cabin and all we could hear when we sat outside was I believe it was either the kitchen exhaust or the air conditioner from the main building running .

Friendly staff who provided useful information on local amenities and guidance on touring the area. The only downside is that although the property has a very good restaurant it does not serve breakfast.
