Liked: Cleanliness
Place served its purpose for a 1 night stay. Enjoyed the private balcony which overlooked the canal. Was very neat to see the ships come in. Room was clean but very dated. Fine by me but would have liked to use the tub for a bath, which I didn’t end up doing due to the condition of the tub. Ac worked very well in the heatwave and room was very quiet. Would go back again if in the area.

Tired looking but clean

It was very quiet but the Inn is really a Motel. It was clean but very dated. Old furniture, bed was very hard. Exterior doors were old, the deadbolt did not work. Only lock was what is typically used for an interior door with a small chain lock. Staircase to enter motel had a lock but again did not feel very secure. Nice view of the canal.
