We love this simple, peaceful hotel. It has everything we need as weary travelers—comfortable beds, fresh air ( openable windows), clean, quiet rooms, easy breakfast early no the morning, and ample floor space in our room for our dogs to rest. The grounds are well kept and provide a suitable area for us to walk the dogs and a convenient outdoor receptacle for disposal of dog waste bags. These things make it well worth the additional fee for pets, in my opinion. Staff are friendly and courteous, too.
