The inn and rooms were clean, but can use some new paint or renovation as it looked overall old. The winner is the free breakfast particularly the waffles! The waffles and syrup were beyond expectation LOL. Rebecca at the front desk was helpful and the fact that there's an actual human being 24/7 was reassuring. Overall I would recommend this place.
