a decent stay

great location local ingredients helpful host cluttered room outdated sticker safety issue
the location provided easy access to the town square. parking was available on site and it helped. the breakfast was freshly cooked and used local ingredients. the host was helpful with recommendations for local attractions.
the room felt somewhat cluttered. i noticed the kettle lacked a current safety test sticker. it seemed it was last tested in 2009. i think this needs addressing.
