The room was clean & comfortable. I am unable to give 5 stars because there were stairs that had to be navigated with a cart full of our items. The manager apologized & stated the Inn is an older establishment & the cost to renovate would be prohibitive. As an older couple in our 70's, the stairs to prevent us from staying again.
