Happy Find!
We stayed here after attending a wedding at The Barn in Dunvilla, which is only about 10 minutes away. We called ahead for a late check-in, and they were incredibly accommodating. I highly recommend this place!

The room was nicely updated and very clean. However, there was little to no noise proofing. We heard conversations from all directions until late at night.

Great location with easy access and parking. Comfortable room and bed. Only downfall is not having a table in the room. Since I was on business I needed a table to set my laptop and work. Plus for eating too. Had to use the bed for work desk and dining.
