"Room was extremely clean and Adele and Mike were extremely accommodating! Towels were changed out whenever needed and water pressure in shower was excellent! Whenever we needed anything, they were right there. My husband had breakfast each morning that he said was 5 star. The Parrsboro Mansion Inn is very centrally located.
