I really enjoyed staying at Irving house for a few days. It was reasonably priced, the location was good, and the room was comfortable. I was staying on business, but would also consider staying with my family.

This was advertised as a bed and breakfast. By my standards it was not, it was an Inn with a continental breakfast. Hampton Inn breakfasts are better. My room was small, bed was not comfortable, TV didn't work at first, and the alarm clock was useless. I will not be back.

Excellent place to sleep for 8 hours.

Excellent for one night stay when speaking at a conference and you will have little, if any time in the actual room.
