we stayed here several years ago. the exterior is adorable. the courtyard is beautiful with colorful impatiens & other plants cascading over stone walls and hanging baskets. There is also a water foundation that softly gurgles. Dutch doors complete the look. Inside the rooms are clean and ok but look like a 1950's motel suite. It's easy to walk down the street to the main street.
