The inn offers on-site parking. The room was clean. The wifi connection was excellent. A grocery store is located a short walk away, providing convenience for any needed supplies. Dinner and breakfast were excellent, and I found everything freshly cooked and served piping hot.
The bath plug needed repair. This was a minor inconvenience.
