Very nice and efficient staff. Curtains were worn. Basic room. No art at all. Clean. Refrigerator was noisy, but figured out you can turn off with knob inside. Great location for south shore tourism (heavenly, casinos, restaurants, lake). If more bathroom and general renovation, would be excellent. Well worth the money spent!

Cute and comfortable place in a great location

We didn't expect many amenities from this 2-star inn, but it did meet our other expectations: clean, comfortable, and safe. It exceeded our expectations when we walked in and saw how spacious the room was, and then how it was within walking distance to shopping at Heavenly and other restaurants. Only stayed one night, so had minimal staff interactions, but they were super friendly.
