Had car trouble. Never got to the hotel. I called to cancel the reservation. Spoke with the desk person. They refused to refund any of the money when I asked AND the next day when Expedia asked. I know this was a non-refundable room, but I was hoping for some understanding. I would have felt a bit better about even a partial refund. I cannot recommend this hotel. They’d rather take money for doing nothing than have a human conversation about circumstances.

Friendly staff, nice inn. Property is just a short walk from the center of downtown. The parking area had plenty of available parking spaces. And the property is well lit at night. Surrounding area is quiet from the business of downtown, and there’s a gas station right across the street for any late night snacks. :) Recommend staying here.
