It’s conveniently located to the Main Street walking to stores and restaurants was all within 5 min. The park with a fishing pier at the end of the street was super fun. The staff is friendly and the breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit and breads and other options. This is a MUST stay and can’t wait to stay here again as the prices are reasonable."
