Cons
- The stairs to the rooms are narrow and steep, which may be challenging for guests with mobility issues or those carrying heavy luggage.
- On-site parking is limited to a small number of spaces, though free street parking is available nearby.
“My stay revealed comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms, a definite plus for unwinding. The helpfulness of the host, Steve, made checking in and finding local spots remarkably easy. It's a solid, well-appointed choice for anyone needing a convenient base in the area.”
