"Kyle is a very small town, if you plan on staying there - you will likely end up here. The inn had easy self parking and the bar seating fills up fast. They also have a dining room that requires reservations, again very small town, but we were able to have dinner there on short notice. Overall a good place to stay, I would highly recommend going up to the Plock park area, can walk from the inn or just drive. It has absolutely beautiful views."
