Clean and well run hotel, and Neil at the front desk is very accommodating and professional. Rooms are a bit small for what I am used to, but for a few nights, it was perfect. Rooms are well stocked with all you need, and surprisingly quiet though it's off a busy road. Thank you!

Tiny but cute. No breakfast.
WAY overpriced because of college graduation weekend. Tiny room. No breakfast or restaurant. This room is worth maybe $145 per night - they charged me $368 Including tax. Horrible AC unit. It’s a motel, not a hotel. Room is cute and quaint. But did I say tiny?
