While the rooms were comfortable, the small fridge was filled with beverages for purchase, leaving no space for personal items. Room service was great, but they forgot to refill our coffee and creamer for four consecutive days. The continental breakfast was average, though the server was excellent. Additionally, the coffee in the lobby contained a significant amount of coffee grounds for four days, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, the room was comfortable, but I probably would not stay here again.

We had a great experience from the time we arrived to the time we left. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our morning breakfasts with them (getting to taste the local treats) and we were in perfect walking distance to everything. Its a quieter town, but we wanted to go out and have some drinks and found a cute small bar they recommended, Sade. Again, great experience!

Staff was courteous and helpful. The amenities are great and the hotel is very dog friendly. Due to the location of the hotel, there is road noise so use the earplugs provided by the hotel if needed. Also most of the parking spaces are on the smaller side so a big car is not recommended.

Our room # 2 was facing the Main Street. We were woke up at 5:30 am by the garbage truck that was picking up all trash bins for 20-30 min of noise.

They need to get the simple things right

The hotel is cute and the welcome glass of champagne and other amenities are lovely but we did not have hot water in the shower, the fireplace stopped working, the bathroom door would not stay shut, and the body wash container was empty. They need to get the basic stuff right, especially at 500+ a night. Nothing is more miserable than a cold shower.
