Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The Inn is centrally located, allowing easy access to various attractions and amenities in the area. The rooms vary in size and style, with some displaying unique old car memorabilia while others offer more modern decor. The lack of storage space may be inconvenient for longer stays, but some rooms provide spacious and nicely appointed bathrooms. The on-site coffee place adds a convenient touch for guests.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was ideal, just a few steps away from everything, making it a quiet place to rest, but some features were lacking for the price. The rooms were a mix of positives and negatives, with a cozy bookcase for reading but also noisy mornings due to loud bin collections outside. The service was pleasant, with kind and accommodating staff, but it felt like the property could use some refurbishment. However, the strong cooking smells from the kitchen were a bit overwhelming. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
