The price was right. Had an appreciation for an old building however, the walls should be painted and the trim in our bedroom, chipped up paint and fingerprints on the door and the trim. Definitely can use a fresh coat of paint. Owners were very friendly and accommodating.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay here. This was my first time. Owners are very kind, friendly and accommodating. Rooms are small and a bit dated but it is part of its charm. Price is very reasonable and appreciate having free parking. Perfect for a weekend stay. Wish there were some hot options for breakfast but for continental breakfast it is fine.

I had a very pleasant day here this past weekend. The Inn is a charming spot. Check-in was very easy. The room was clean and adequate for the short amount of time that I spent in there. The AC worked well. There were a variety of items for breakfast, and I found it to be just enough to satisfy my hunger in the morning. The staff/owners were very kind and helpful when I fell outside on the sidewalk (not in front, but down the road), and provided a first aid kit and ice packs.
