We were lucky to find a room at Author’s during Spring Break season. Stayed as a family of 3 in the Wilder room and it was spacious enough. Rooms are kept very clean and the overall place feels very comfy. Breakfast was good enough with bagels, coffee, yogurt, boiled eggs and cereals.

We stayed in the Poets room, it was very spacious and nicely decorated. Property is clean with nice sitting areas. Pool is small but clean and welcoming. Pleasant surprise was the free breakfast, very nice selection for a continental. The gated property made us feel very safe. I would definitely stay here again!
