Very comfortable, clean and bright. Walls a bit thin so ran the AC at night as white noise. Just steps away from restaurants and gift shops as well as the museum. Would stay here again!

Quaint inn in a quaint town. In a renovated historical building. Room was clean and comfortable with a mini fridge and some complimentary snacks and drinks. No on-sight reception staff a lot of the time and entry doors use a passcode.

I enjoyed my stay. It was a bit confusing for the check in process since nobody is on the property however it is very clean, organized, big and worth what I paid. They are easy to reach via phone or text as well. I Will likely be back

There is no staff at this property. Everything on line. Doors have key pad locks. This may be a turn off for most, but we were fine with it. I had trouble with the lock but my call was answered and the problem was taken care of. Turns out the room door lock does not work until 3pm unless you request it earlier. We arrived at 2:55 pm. .

Liked: Cleanliness
A couple of explanations on my rating: gave staff and service 3/5 (mid) because there was no option to choose N/A. Self Checkin was available, so no reason to meet staff. Facilities are very limited despite the appearance of a bar and restaurant, but we may be too early given the seasonal nature of the location.

Room was very clean and tidy. It was recently renovated so the carpet and paint were very clean and crisp. I asked for an early check in and late check out and was quickly sent a message that it was not a problem. I’d recommend the hotel.

Room was comfortable and clean, with nice extras such as complimentary snacks and beverages. Unfortunately the property is located at the corner of a busy intersection with truck traffic through the night.
