Participated in the soft opening of the hotel (accidentally). Family owned. Very friendly and helpful staff. Everything is new apart from the antiques used to furnish the rooms (apparently collected over many years before they bought the hotel). Quaint and cozy remake of a prior hotel. Has a. bar (was a work in progress), porch on first (ground) floor and patio on the second floor (with fire pits and comfortable chairs). They will have a small store and small restaurant (which will be a good thing as there are very limited dining options on Mon-Wed in town). Look forward to going back some day and seeing the finished product. Clearly a labor of love and more like a B&B than a chain hotel.

From the get go,my reservation was a problem I was given the wrong room. The hotel is still in the renovation stage. The front desk person had to find me a room,I was given a two bed two bath room only one problem one bath had no toilet. The room was on the first floor and it didn't have curtains on the windows. The final kicker was there WI-FI was not working so the television didn't work. The whole stay there was a DISASTER. The bar will not be open until July 4th maybe.
