The staff were knowledgeable of the area, accommodating, and very friendly! This was our first stay (2 nights) and we were assigned to room 4. The bathroom/shower was small for us. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars for the facility. We would definitely stay again but request a room with larger bathroom/shower. The breakfast is free with stay and has great order from menu options. The location is also very convenient.

Made to order breakfast; good tap beer and wine; quaint; card/board games available. Very charming. I’m not a fan of the sink outside the bathroom, but in the olden days, bedrooms didn’t have attached bathrooms. There’s only so much that can be done with a small space in an historic building. Brendan was awesome.
