10 out of 10 describes everything from online check-in to personable and friendly staff. Room was more than expected. Hotel was in beautiful condition, very clean and well done. Wonderful coffee/tea area for anytime you walked through. Reading area and beautiful veranda. Pool area was fenced and quaint. Close to everything but best of all “ a moment in time” feeling when you read the hotels history.

The breakfast was great! The cook would make your eggs to your desire. I got up to go get another glass of water and he was already bringing one to me. Rooms were unique and clean. The staff was literally the friendliest staff I've ever encountered, and I travel a lot with my basketball team.

Ac workes really well, breakfast was great, the room was clean, i just needed a bigger bed and the shower handle was broken, i had to hold the shower head in my hand, and the room didn't have blackout curtains, just blinds and i could out though the side of them while sitting on the couch, was very uncomfortable with that.
