It was conveniently located. Their parking is an issue if you go on a busy weekend, and also be mindful that they run a farmers market on Saturday morning to the afternoon

The rooms are so small we barely had room to move around. It was ridiculously humid and muggy and the a/c made it worse. The bathroom REAKED of bleach and made my eyes burn.
