Comfortable and Full of Charm

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel has a touch of old-fashioned charm while still offering all the modern comforts. The room was spotless, cozy, and well equipped with a refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, and an in-room safe. The grab-and-go breakfast was a nice bonus, making mornings quick and easy. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the atmosphere made me feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a bit of classic charm!
