I have stayed here several times and each time I notice the area generally improving. The owner/front desk person is extremely pleasant and I enjoyed the quick chats with him. Stay was again very comfortable and quiet. The rooms are very large and the little two seat sitting area was a nice place to sit and read.
Around the corner is a local theatre that happened to have a poetry reading. Not normally sometime I do, but it was close and an interesting experience. The other stores along that street are eclectic and very fun to visit. Again, a nice change from the chain hotels in an area of town that is fun to visit.
