We had a great weekend stay and loved the inn and our room. We liked the top-of-the-stairs bedroom location--very quiet and private. We would definitely stay again!

10/10 Exceptional

We had been given a code to enter a room but turned out the information given was incorrect and were allocated a totally separate room. After that initial problem which was sorted out fairly quickly we found the room allocated nice and spacious with a shower and toilet. Only stayed for one night but the room was nice and clean. The building was quiet however there was a little road noise. Didn’t see any staff. There were some small snacks and coffee free in the hallway which was good. Location was good with just a short walk to the main shopping and restaurant areas. Would stay there again

Walking distance to downtown area. Room was large and clean. Bed was comfortable. Stairs were a bit treacherous as this is an old home, but took it slowly up and down the stairs. Otherwise, we loved our short stay.
