Yes could you a more updated toilet instead of the 1950 small low to the floor toilets. Also the small fridge wasn’t really big enough and ours went out. All else good

Great customer service. I checked in late and they were in contact with me about where my key was and how to get it. My key was locked and I was given the combo. Combo worked and got into my room even when checking in late and no one was at the front office. Great help and very friendly

Room very clean. So guests were louder than needed to be. Ice machine was in kitchen and only available Saturday and Sunday 7 to 10 am. Any other time you needed ice you have to go to office and let them get it. And no coffee maker in room coffee only available with breakfast on Saturday and Sunday

Very nice for a weekend stay for the two of us. It seems to be locally owned and operated. Trolley that is free picks you up across the street. Breakfast was the highlight they have a really good cook on the weekends. We really enjoyed it.
