Wasn't aware of the overnight parking fee. No restaurants near by. No gas stations or convenience stores nearby either. Breakfast was OK at best. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very cool historic house.

Beds were soooooo small and uncomfortable. Not enough towels. Bathroom old and not nice looking. That would've been ok but it's also super small.
