Excellent place to stay. Recommend them.
Pros:

Recently updated. Beds were excellent. Roomy shower. Plenty of linens. Housekeeping came in and made beds/replaced soiled linens. New carpeting. Very clean. Nice breakfast: muffins, bagels, fresh fruit, cold cereal, juices, etc. Enjoyed our 2 night stay! Would recommend them.

Cons:

Only drawback is the A/C unit is a floor one that is quite noisy. We cooled the room, shut it off, and put the ceiling fan on "medium". Very comfortable.

Cons:

They did not have my reservation. They said this was a booking problem. Fortunately, they had one room left. The breakfast was not even up to a chain hotel standard.

Accommodation was very good and exceeded our expectation.
Pros:

The hotel is very well kept, very clean and well furnished. It exceeded our expectations. THe breakfast was advertized as Continental, items offered were very good.

Cons:

It is on the main street and looks like a motel. But the owner has decorated it tastefully and runs it very well.
