The room was at the back so views were of an open treed area. It was a great deal for what I paid. Beds are super comfy! I should have looked to see if it was the mattress or a topper because I want it for my bed at home!

This inn is a little hidden gem! Very cozy with the best shower pressure I've ever encountered at any other inn or hotel (fancy or not)! I also forgot an item and the staff were so incredibly helpful in getting the item returned to me. Am very grateful! Highly recommend!!!

The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, great if you like a firm mattress. Very close to a nice pathway by the river, a short distance to historic downtown.
