This our third time to stay at this location. We love the rooms and the location in town…..always friendly and prompt response from the people over it. The only issue we have ever had is there is only 1 iron/ironing board for all 6 rooms. And the iron is suppose to be out back in the hall after use. The problem is people don’t put it back so we are out wearing clothes that are wrinkled after a 4 hour drive. I know it’s a small complaint but that it for these rooms.

Everything about this location was perfect with one exception. The music that was out and around downtown was too loud. It could be heard in the room at night.
