It’s fairly charming, but too old in design. We wish the room had better lighting. At the same time, we wish the corridor light wouldn’t shine through the door (which was too small for the frame).

Clean room. Staff was very courteous. Older "historic" inn so it was cold and drafty in areas. Water pressure low and took awhile to warm up. Breakfast was okay but not terrific, packaged muffins, yogurt, breads, cereal, with OJ and Milk and a slow waffle maker.
