convenient area location parking quite frustrating
the location seemed REALLY convenient for exploring the area.
i found the lack of parking quite frustrating. i ended up circling the block a few times and finally had to park quite far away. it was a bit of a trek with my luggage, and that was annoying

The owners were so lovely and friendly! they let us leave our cars after we checked out. this allowed us to enjoy town for breakfast and a little shopping. the location is great. It is close to the centre, but still quiet.
the room felt slightly dated.
