The room was spotless, loved the hardwood floors. The breakfast was fantastic and all the staff were very friendly. The entire hotel, landscaping, etc is is manicured and maintained. I give the Pepper Tree Inn a 10 and will stay there again. Also, we asked for a downstairs room because I had my dog with me. They were wonderful and we had a little patio right outside our sliding glass door.
