The hotel was small, the breakfast was okay but was extremely limited. Really my only complaint was that I got what they considered a “deluxe room” that was supposed to come with a bigger tv and nice shower with multiple shower head settings but when we got there the shower would not change from the basic shower head setting. Other than that pretty cute and quaint hotel
