Staff was friendly and attentive. They offered to help with luggage upon arrival and also informed us of breakfast for the next morning. Menu's to local restaurants were also provided (Steak house & Italian). The room was spotless; the star was the hot tub which was magical. Definitely recommend and will be back soon.

Second time staying at this quaint, clean, comfortable, peaceful, and hospitable hotel! So convenient to all the local sights plus located on a great, little campus with unique shops, art, and eateries. Hotel staff is friendly and accommodating. Breakfast offers hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, waffle maker, pastries, cereal, fresh fruit, juices, coffee and tea (latter offered 24/7). Comfy beds and wonderful shower with plenty of hot water. Great accommodations at a great price.
