"This was a decent stay for the price. Staff are very polite and helpful. An older property, but you can tell they are working on updating rooms. Ours had new bedding and new flooring. It was small but clean. Air conditioning was a little slow to cool room down. It was surprisingly very quiet and the beds were comfortable. We did not partake in breakfast. Large parking lot and easy walk to restaurants and shops. We came by boat and it was an easy walk to the lock. Do not expect the Ritz at this price - but a good, simple, basic room."
