No WiFi the entirety of my stay, not well stocked with the things like towels and wash clothes or hair dryer. I had to go ask for one they hold them up at the office. No one was ever there to assist. And yes it has bugs! Never staying there again!

We stayed at this quaint little place 5 years ago. It was clean, had coffee pots in the rroms, glasses to drink out of and soft fresh towels. The garden area was a nice place to sit. This time, the room was not as clean and the bathroom had mold around the floor. Each night there were drunk people arguing and yelling until 2 and 4 in the morning. The towels were a little rough and no coffee pot or glasses. The garden area was a little to be desired. The hotel staff were as polite as they could be with what was happening. We will not be back.

There are only about eight parking spaces. The chances of getting one a very slim when we arrived at 3 PM there was four cars waiting for a parking spot. We ended up paying $50 to park our car overnight at the hotel next-door.
