The bed was uncomfortable and kind of lumpy. Also the bathtub was dangerous. It got very slippery when taking a shower and stepping out. The continental breakfast had a very limited selection of items. Other than that was mentioned it was nice and peaceful. Enjoyed sitting in the Anderondicks chairs they supplied very peaceful.

A lovely hotel: clean, quiet, with helpful people working and running the place. It's an older hotel, but with modern conveniences. You may want to bring a short extension cord or plug strip, as the plugs are few and far between and hidden behind the beds and other furniture. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

I only gave an average rating because we didn’t actually stay there, but I gave the staff a poor rating because I was very disappointed and communications with them. There was an error during booking and whether it was on my end or through the third-party website, they refuse to work with me on it. We were Five hours away in a different city, and they would not adjust the booking or work with us to make it work for them nor for us. Would not recommend if anything comes up.

Reserved a king room, because I have a service dog they downgraded me to two queens. They state they don’t allow “pets” in king rooms, i advised that my dog isn’t a pet but rather a service animal. After the front desk contacted the owner, it made no difference. They then charged me more than the quoted Expedia price. No safety bolts or chains on the room doors, opens with a key. Beautiful rooms and property otherwise.
