"The train went by right after we went to bed and blew its horn! This was before 10:00 pm We were not warned about the train schedule and felt a little blindsighted by this! Also felt that the small restaurant was overcrowded by the tour group. We couldn’t get a table or a seat at the bar so had to use a sitting area and had to order finger foods that didn’t require silverware. The bar and eating area was understaffed even though the two servers were amazing !!!! We did receive the best of care from the hard working servers👏👏👏"

Town House Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Quaint little place in downtown with eateries and shopping within walking distance. The staff was professional and inviting. Great attitude. Quiet room. Everything worked well."
