Nice room even with strong cleaner
Great location and a nice remodel. The only complaint is that they use an « industrial « cleaner which has a very strong smell and makes the hotel feel cheaper than it is.

Very minimal parking
The location was very convenient, close to downtown but the parking was challenging very minimal spots at the Inn. It is mainly street parking & could be several blocks away, very challenging & disappointing. We won’t be staying there again.

Nice motel for a reasonable price for the area, room slightly small and not too well insulated against light or noise but overall was very comfortable for an overnight stay. No comment on the breakfast as we did not have any. Just a short walk into town for a selection of restaurants.
