The room and bedding were clean. Not sure why there were six pillows on the bed. The room was advertised as Bed and Breakfast, no breakfast provided - disapointed. The owner provided two names of restaurants close by that served breakfast at my cost. The TV had limited service and no alarm clock. The parking stalls are small and shared with the owner's vehicle. . When leaving the parking stall, you need to back onto a busy street with a limited safety view. There are many trees and shrubs on both sides of the driveway that obstruct the view up to the main busy street - not safe and dangerous.
