Everything was virtual. Room was okay. Heat was difficult to adjust, room way too hot. Broken blind in bathroom. We had front room on street, lots of noise even with my earplugs. Curtains on windows were not adequate to keep light from porch and street out of room. Probably will not stay here again

Property is in a very good location. Lots of shops and dining options available. Also right next to the state park which is a must see. Rooms decor is older but everything was comfortable and was exactly how is seen in pictures. Would stay again.
