The room was old but very well kept, cozy, warm, and extremely clean. No bad smells and not musty at all. the customer service was wonderful, and when our tire went flat and we had to stay longer than expected, they responded with kindness. For being an inn, it met and surpassed our expectations.

The hotel is kind of old but totally functional. I like the fact that it has a separate living area. Staff were very good. They delivered us to the airport and picked us up from the airport. Breakfast was also good.

We needed to make a last minute booking due to cancelled flight in the middle of the night; Carlos was at the airport to pick us up within 15 minutes of our booking, and we got upgraded room as well. For a "breakfast in the lobby" the abundance, variety, and healthy options was incredible. Although the Inn is older, would recommend due to cleanliness, and service.
