Second time staying at this quaint, clean, comfortable, peaceful, and hospitable hotel! So convenient to all the local sights plus located on a great, little campus with unique shops, art, and eateries. Hotel staff is friendly and accommodating. Breakfast offers hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, waffle maker, pastries, cereal, fresh fruit, juices, coffee and tea (latter offered 24/7). Comfy beds and wonderful shower with plenty of hot water. Great accommodations at a great price.

When i arrived they had out complimentary cookies which were delicious! The hotel had an awesome fireplace area. The rooms were nice. We went on new year's eve but we heard about a bakery nearby, unfortunately that was closed on new year's but it is understandable. I would love to cone back in the warmer months and check out the outdoors.

Very nice hotel, the problem is in the morning for breakfast there is a delay in staff attentiveness to items running out or things needing to be done. The toaster was broken last time which was causing issues in the sitting area and coffe was out. Just seemed to be short staffed that day, and in the morning there was not enough help for the amount of people staying there.
