Munras Inn

Munras Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay, the AC & heat worked exceptionally well & were very quiet. The room was clean & spacious. The water pressure and shower head were AMAZING! A great way to unwind after a long day of site seeing. We were on the 2nd floor of the 2nd building and I loved the high wood beam ceilings. If the price is right the next time we are in the area, we would definitely stay again!"
