The inn is in a convenient location. The staff is helpful and friendly. Breakfast offerings were plentiful, including fresh waffles, but no eggs. Specious room comfortable beds. One negative is the lack of an elevator. This was our second stay at this hotel and we'd stay there again.

The property is nice, beautiful setting. Staff are excellent. The only downside is the “breakfast”. They had some bagels, breads, cereal and a waffle maker. A far cry from the excellent restaurant that used to be there.
