The Inn is quiet, which I appreciated. The room I stayed in was very clean, but there were signs of water damage around the bathroom ceiling, and there is visible mold growing in the bathroom on the ceiling about the shower. Overall, staff is welcoming, kind, and accommodating.

Very convenient to hospital. Staff friendly and helpful. Room well kept spacious and clean. Older building so walls a bit thin and hallways lack carpeting so it can be a bit noisy at times. Overall for the price it is a well placed place to stay.

When you allow dogs to stay on your property. The owners should be told that they can't leave them in the room by themselves if they aren't use to being by themselves. A dog was left by itself and barked for two hour disturbing everybody else.
