We enjoyed our stay. We liked the cozier feel of this smaller hotel. Everything was very nice and clean and the staff were pleasant and helpful. Very convenient for a visit to Longwood Gardens about 15 min. away.

Our room was lovely and spacious. Some problems were the poor Wi-Fi connections as well as hearing constant noise from the heater and the fan. The breakfast was fine, something for everyone. Cookies in the afternoon were a nice treat! The location is excellent. We would definitely recommend this property and would look to stay when we are back in the area.

There was no ability to control the temperature in the room. There was a thermostat on the wall but moving it had effect. Multiple pillows had long human hairs on them.

Peony festival stay

This is a good location for visiting the museums and gardens in the area. Our room was a larger suite that was in good condition but the air conditioner sounded like a waterfall non stop and was very loud all night , there's no person at the front desk. We were surprised that the owners were ok renting a room w a unit like that.

Not so quiet getaway

My stay was excellent. There was an infamt in the room adjoining mine that struggled to sleep and a group of 4 in the other room adjacent to me that were early risers. The noise travelled through the room walls and I disnt get the best sleep. This hotel could not have controlled that at all. The space was beautiful, clean and the staff was amazing.
