Room was great. Bathroom had bar of soap from previous occupant left in the shower. Also, washcloth, while laundered, still had makeup stains on it.

Older inn with polite customer service. Reasonable rates to get a good nights rest before traveling on. Several tasty dining options some within walking distance or a short drive.

All good, affordable, great location, comfortable beds, The only downside is that it was probably not no-smoking before and has not been renovated since - so for a non-smoker - the smell is there.

The floor in the room had not been vacuumed for at least one day, maybe more, and there was a broken bar of soap under the sink. I showed all this to the front desk person who basically shrugged their shoulders and did nothing. They did help with a couple other things. The bed and bathroom were fine. The breakfast was minimal.
