Cute family run property but needs major renovation. Room smelled old, shower had mildew/ mold from poor ventilation. Bed was old and squeaky. Don’t know how long it’s been owned by the family but I hope they earn enough capital to remodel.

Everyone was very friendly, made you feel right at home. It’s a charming hotel. Easy parking made it convenient. Small room, small bathroom, but that’s expected considering the age. It was roomy enough for my husband and I. It was clean and comfortable. Best ice machine too!!! I would definitely stay here again.
