"The inn is absolutely adorable concept. I loved having our own little room. Like most of the hotels/motels up here it is close to the street and you can hear the cars, so being your sound machine! The rooms are clean. We did have quite a few Asian beetles in our room (guessing a previous person left the door open). The rooms are older (ie creaky floor, creaky bed, old bathroom). The hot water in the shower was fabulous and the heat/air conditioning worked very well. It is close to Kangamangus highway as well as both new and old downtowns. The staff is kind too! "
