First time staying here and unfortunately was a frustrating experience. Start with the good - maids were friendly and effective in keeping the place clean. We checked in on a Wednesday and out on Saturday. Breakfast nook quaint and OK with basic options (bagels/toast, hard-boiled eggs, muffins/pastries, apples/oranges, yogurt, cheerios/Raisin Bran, coffee but nothing other than cold water for kids). Now for the frustrating - on day 1 we informed the front desk the tv was not working. They had no ideas but said they would get back to us. I proceeded to check in each morning/evening before/after our day’s activities. I was told repeatedly they would talk to a manager. Long story short, they NEVER fixed or even FOLLOWED UP with an update. There is no maintenance person onsite and the nice girls that work the front desk really had no idea how to help drive to a solution. I didn’t expect them to be able to provide tech support personally, but at least contact someone who could. Just very poor customer service. Two other things to note. 1- After checking in and seeing our room had no tub (just a walk-in shower) I asked if there was another room we could switch to that would be better for our small child. Answer: “None of our rooms have tubs.” 2 - The heater in our room was one of the older baseboard radiant heaters (not a problem by itself). Unfortunately it was located right behind a bed headboard (literally touching it) which felt unsafe and tough to sleep .

Beautiful rooms with a lot of personality! Within walking distance to a lot tourist attractions. The beds were really comfortable and the fireplace added a lot of coziness. I do not recommend driving a large vehicle because the parking was a little bit of a challenge. The continental breakfast was not the greatest but definitely not a game changer for myself.

We loved the room and garden right outside the door. The breakfast was great, nothing huge but a good start to our day! My only complaint was the street noise was loud at night.
