Overall good. A few maintenance items. Gave a list to staff at check out. She was thankful. Reality is they don’t know what needs fixing if they are not politely told. Make a list and share it. This goes for all hotel stays. Breakfast was minimal but sufficient. Glad to have it. Parking was about a block away but ok. Hotel is great location to Main street. Quiet and friendly staff.
