The Inn is situated close to a university. This allows for convenient access for campus visits. The waterfront area is within walking distance. So are a large park and the downtown area with dining and shopping.

The queen bed in my room was very comfortable. It featured nice bedding and a good duvet. I found bottled spring water provided. I really appreciated this. A window air conditioner helped keep the room cool on warmer nights.

Charming Stay!

comfortable bed quick check-in cute staff

Check-in was super quick. The staff was very cute! Our room had chairs, a table, and a balcony. The bed felt comfortable. I slept soundly all night. Showers were wonderful, and I appreciated good water pressure.
