The owners are lovely people but the place is pretty run down. It was a ok place for a night to go to a concert and an ok place to rest your head.

Great one-night stay!
Be sure to call in advance if you're arriving at the train station and Andrew will pick you up! I appreciated the upgraded room when I was late to arrive. Andrew has a fascinating back story that I was happy to hear about!
