Disappointing
I wanted to give a nice review but I can’t. The front desk person was nice enough to let us check in a couple of hours early but there was construction being done on the room beneath us, which was very loud and disruptive. When I asked how long until they completed the work, the front desk person informed me that they should be done by 10 PM, Particularly since there was no warning that construction would be done during our stay, I was perturbed. They moved us to a different room which was at the very front of the hotel. Unfortunately, it was dirty, including dead insects on the bathroom counters and dust everywhere. The toilet didn’t work and when we asked to have someone come and fix it, no one came and we ended up back in the original room. I wanted to love this place…… I stayed years ago and it was much better. This stay was a dud.

Great Place to Stay!!
I love this inn. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It is super cute, and quaint. Our room was clean, the beds were very comfortable and it's in a great location. I flew in from Atlanta for my daughter's wedding and stayed at the inn for a total of three days. I would definitely stay here again.
