The staff were very friendly and I will be staying there again in the near future. The location is both charming and convenient. The property is evidently well aged but also well maintained.

Room was nice. The one thing we did notice was the ceiling fan before we turned it on we checked and it was full of thick dust layer so we didn’t end up turning on fan. We thought it was maybe the wood on the blades chipping but was just dust. Other than that stay was comfortable
