Quirky Charm and Convenient Location

good breakfasteasy parkingfriendly hostsexcellent restaurant
The breakfast offered many good options. Parking was easy, located right across from the main entrance. The room was a good size.. The hosts were very friendly. The Italian restaurant provided an excellent dining option, situated only four miles away.
The television in my room seemed rather small. I noticed a lack of space to place a sponge bag down in the bathroom. I had to use the toilet top or floor. The pillows were a bit hard for my taste.
