Room was very clean and hotel is well organized. Nothing fancy in terms of amenities but what they do have is cozy and charming. We only ate breakfast on property. It was good but not great. Only 5 or 6 items to choose from for the breakfast that’s included and the menu didn’t change while we were there. Location is great as long as you want to be in town.
