This Inn is Lovely, pristine clean and so comfortable. Parking in the lot next to the Inn. Safe and charming little town and College, off the main streets. Quiet and safe. We love it. The staff couldn’t be nicer and more professional, and the little restaurant has Really really delicious food. We think this place is a gem. Elevator, large rooms, great bathrooms, great shower, room temp control.

Front desk Staff didn’t even smile and no greeting nor enthusiasm. Just felt like doing their duty. Quoted crazy price hike, 3x the price when we asked for a nights stay. The highlight is the location of the Inn.
