Positives: Our room, the visual of the Inn and breakfast were outstanding! Negatives: The younger staff definitely need to work on their people skills. At times, the attitudes almost seemed irritated by guests. I was also bothered that the hot tub was closed by 8 for the time we were there. After dinner in downtown and coming back to the Inn, you really want to warm up and soak and that was not doable. I have never stayed anywhere where the tub closed before 10. I feel that should be revised. If I had seen online that it was closed at 8:00pm, I would have stayed elsewhere.

Beautiful, clean cozy quaint. It was my birthday stay and I asked at the desk if there were any perks for it being your birthday. Free upgrade or anything. The sweet girl offered a celebration packet, which was lovely. However, in the morning I was charged $15 for it. That was our only sour note for the whole day.

I like the location in a quiet area. If you are able to walk, it's totally walkable to the many shops and restaurants. The front desk people we talked to were very nice and helpful. The room was comfortable. Nothing fancy, but fine. Breakfast was good. No complaints.

Stayed in a 3 bedroom suite and it was excellent. Very clean, very modern, housed our 6 people very well. (One minor complaint: no oven!). Staff was very accommodating to the couple of requests we made; very friendly people! Great place to bring your dog. Breakfasts were superb; nice meat/protein dish and scrambled eggs and yogurt included each day. Hot tub and a sauna for use with a front desk reservation. Would definitely stay again!!

Breakfast was brought out regularly in a buffet style setting. The property was very well maintained and clean. Jacuzzi was working as well as the sauna. The pool wasn’t working but it was late October and 40 degrees. The rooms were clean and aesthetically pleasing. Would definitely stay again.
