Great place to stay. It has an old charm to it like the furniture and structure, but also new amenities. Beds were comfortable and parking was easy. Breakfast was good with a decent variety of waffles, baggies, yogurt, eggs, and drinks. Location was perfect, right around where we wanted to go and was very beautiful. Would stay there again.
