Had to park on the street and sign in with local police. We had gone to a play and when we returned there were no parking places available on the grounds of the inn. Parking around the inn is a little tight so parking on the street was a decent option.

We were in town to visit family. I was there with my mother. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. The room we stayed in had two beds, 2 closets and a large bathroom. It was clean and comfortable. A little outdated. The location was perfect for everything we had planned during our stay.
