Had an amazing one night stay, our room was warm, comfortable and everything we required was available. Enjoyed a wonderful meal in the pub next door, served by a very polite and helpful young man. Would certainly recommend this inn and definitely stay again if we were in this area again.

Wouldn't stay there again.
The room was small, but clean. Surprisingly there was no drawers to unpack your clothes. There were hangers but that's it. We lived out of our suitcases for 4 days. There was room for a dresser. It's not handicapped accessible. The rooms are upstairs with no elevator. I usually use a cane or walker. My husband and I are 75 and 73, carrying our luggage up a flight of stairs. If you're in a wheelchair, this place isn't for you. Now the good. It was great having a cafe and pub attached. After long days we ate and had cocktails in the evenings. The staff there were attentive and friendly.

4/10 Fair

We were pleased with the early checkin provided, and the condition of our room. However, at 10pm we learned we were placed above the pub. Country music suddenly blasted from 10pm til 1am, it was extremely loud in our room. There is no one at front desk after 5 and no one answers phones (either from room or calling the facility) so nothing we could do but listen to partiers and blasting music til they were done. We aren’t fussy people and don’t expect a lot, but sleep is something we anticipate at a hotel. In case you do decide to stay, don’t bother with the restaurant attached.

Clean, quiet, great parking. Dinning on site. Only downside is the street light was directly In front of our room and sort of gave a glow that made you think it was morning. I’m sure not every room has that issue. Great stay

Good location, cute rooms
The staff was very friendly and the room was cute and clean, but there were a few issues. The a/c didn't seem to work at all (despite following included instructions, it just wouldn't turn on at all). The coffee maker also didn't work, and the lights were very dim (the dimmer was stuck on the lowest setting). The front desk is only staffed from 9-5ish, so by the time we realized these issues, there was nobody to alert. Overall, cute spot and great location though.
