Considering this is a small town, i knew options would be limited, with that being said. The check in process did not make me feel safe at all. The keys were already on the doors and the doors themselves didnt lock well. To check in or ask them a question i had to always look for the staff, yes they had a phone but it was almost as if you were bugging them. The rooms themseleves were clean, big and not too run down. I just did not feel safe with the way the main dooor locked.

The loft was a nice feature for families. The only reason for not getting five stars was a bit of a musty smell. Convenient walk to restaurants and a grocery.
