Underwhelming stay. Expected more.

cramped roomparking mess
the parking situation was a mess. i returned after a day trip to find no available spaces and streets too narrow to park safely. also, the 'superior queen room monmouth george inn' i booked felt cramped. the advertised square footage must include the hallway, because the actual living space was smaller than expected.
