The room is was shabby, uncleaned dor years. The carpet smelled , the linen had stain marks. The bed was so uncomfortable, im pregnant and it made me so much uncomfortable to sleep the entire night!! To add to the problem, we found a bee clinging on the curtains. Definitely not worth the price please be careful before booking it

Property looks nice on the outside but the room we had was not good. It had a smell and the layout was a bit weird with the bathroom sink outside of the bathroom. Also the door to our unit would not lock unless we slammed the door shut. Overall for what we paid we expected more. Would rate as a 2 out of 5 stars at best.

In a great location. Right in the downtown on the main street close to the shops and restaurants. But the building needs a interior renovation in particular the carpets. Also breakfast was not included which when you consider the price you pay for your stay is quite inconvenient.

There are no pretenses for the Inn. The decor is dated and worn but the condition was clean. There are no bells and whistles but all basic necessities were there. Our room was a good size (2 queen beds) as was the bathroom. The best feature was the proximity to downtown. A short walk, which cost markedly more at the other resorts along the way. If you are okay with the basics then the value can be had. The restaurant next door has a strange mix of offerings but was good and obviously convenient.
