Amazing Stay at the Renovated Inn
comfortable bedexcellent breakfasthomemade lasagnafriendly owner
I stayed two nights, and my room included a very comfortable bed. I got some excellent sleep! Breakfast was cooked to order and excellent. I ate a lovely, homemade lasagna for supper and everything was so good!
The stairs to my room were a little dark. I almost tripped!

I found plenty of parking spaces available. The staff were very friendly! They gave a warm welcome. The rooms are quite spacious and comfortable with everything I needed.
The bar lady I met seemed odd and not very cute . A smile would have improved the experience. The bed pillows weren't very comfortable, I must say. The room wasn't initially ready upon my arrival. I was placed in an unclean room as a supplement for the first night.
