Wonderful staff. Great price for a night’s stay. We stayed in the original building. Our room was small with a queen bed as I expected. Very clean but the carpet probably should be replaced. Seemed old. Bed and bathroom very clean and comfortable. The bake shop was very good for coffee and baked items. Thank you.
