A Good Cloudy Weekend?!

The room was great but I have to say that it was noisy with our neighbors upstairs and both sides of rooms. Certainly the Inn is not to be blamed! People were a little more festive this weekend?!!

It was a great stay. The staff was wonderful. The area is very walkable. Our room was very small. It was clean and well appointed but especially the bathroom, it was very tiny and we are not big people.
