Just a little further away from Main/Downtown area than I thought it would be. The Inn is located on a highway so there is some highway noise even at night.. ..defiantly not a deal breaker super nice place comfortable room with a comfy bed... great and responsive Innkeepers and the Inn is located in a very convenient area.

The room was very cozy. We were bummed the fireplace didn't work. We picked this room for that reason! Otherwise, it was a very nice room and comfy bed. Make sure you lock your room while you are in the room. Had a couple walk right in shortly after we arrived and were relaxing on the bed before heading out for the evening.
