Room was clean. We did wait a little longer as we asked for a room on the second floor. I should have asked at the time I made the reservation but didn't realize there were 3 floors. Stay was great. Food excellent, staff great and very helpful.

Such a cozy stay! We loved the room and the location of the hotel is phenomenal. Even though it was off season, we found more than enough to do and the hotel’s proximity to everything was great! Definitely will stay here again if we ever come back to the area.
