Small delightful hotel, with friendly helpful staff. Rooms are unusual, ours had lovely bath with two sinks and a jacuzzi tub plus a stall shower. Cozy corner fireplace, too! Nice breakfast room and lobby, fresh flowers and nice Christmas decorations. Close to major attractions like Longwood Gardens, and several nice restaurants. Would surely recommend!

The staff was extremely polite and helpful. The hotel lobby decked out with holiday decorations and a warm fire were very welcoming. The ability to sit in the dining room (primarily used for the free breakfast) during outside hours was appreciated. The breakfast was so much better than the breakfast those provided free by other hotels...many more offerings.

Look no further. If you are in the area...STAY HERE. Everything you need for a night of a few days. Clean, convenient, great location, walkable restaurants, and priced below what I would expect to pay. I would 1000% stay here again. In fact my wife and I discussed coming back to the area to visit partly because of this great place to stay.
