A friendly and welcoming, centrally located Inn, with ample parking and a delicious breakfast.
Pros:

The welcome and staff were excellent (an upgrade!). A friendly hotel, fantastic location, ample parking and breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

Only fault was the mattress (Room 3). I have to say it had a lump in the middle and my wife and I both found it uncomfortable.
