The hotel is newly renovated, the rooms have cute ambient led lighting details under the bed and on the ceiling, the bathrooms are new and clean. The staff were super friendly. There is a fancy coffee machine in the lobby and a few great breakfast cafes within a few minutes drive. Great place to spend a weekend!

Nice property. Booked for 1 night. The only off thing was we booked a king bed room but Expedia sent it over as a queen bed room (so not the inn's fault). Everything was clean and super sweet on when we checked in 3 mins to lobby closing.
