“I noticed that this spot emphasizes personalized service, with a hands-on approach to management, and that's a real advantage for those seeking extra attention; its proximity to local events and festivals makes it a strategic pick, too. While some rooms could use updating, I appreciate that it provides a welcoming, pet-friendly environment, plus a hot breakfast. It's a solid choice for both business and leisure.”
