Excellent location very convenient to the downtown mall area as well as lots of restaurants on Main Street, which was an easy walk. We stayed in the library loft, which was perfect as we had an upstairs sleeping area and a separate downstairs with 2 bathrooms. Breakfast is included at Farm Bell Kitchen every morning, which is well worth it. Also, parking was included, which is a great perk for this area. Will definitely stay here again!
