Disliked: Staff & service
The room was quaint and lovely. Lady at check in was not friendly during our experience. She was overly friendly and chatty with the person ahead of us but very dry and uninterested in engaging with my fiancé and I during check in. Would not come again due to that experience. All guests should be treated equally
