It’s nothing fancy, but the room was comfortable. The main issue I had was that two of the three main lights in the room did not work, but the owners resolved it by moving me to a different room, so that was good. There also were no stoppers for the drains in either the bathtub or the sink. Breakfast was simple, but good. I liked that they were flexible on the timing.

Convenient by not great

About the only place in town to stay. Owners are not very friendly and you have to ring the bell to get front desk attention. We had to routinely ask for fresh towels. The breakfast consisted of coffee, juice, toast and cereal. When we decided to check out a day early, we were not refunded a nights stay or given a credit voucher.

Staff was pleasant but the property is in serious need of investment and care. This property is overpriced for the state of the amenities. Our room had one of the worst paint jobs I've seen, a sink that barely drained, lights that didn't work, and carpet in serious need of replacement. On the plus side, the beds were comfortable and clean.
