I love everything about this hotel- how it's decorated, the staff, the comfortable and clean room. The lovely woman at the registration desk even gave me a complimentary upgrade which was an unexpected surprise. However, I have two complaints that really need to be addressed. It took several minutes for the water to heat up. I let the shower run for probably 5 minutes before it got up to a comfortable temperature which still was not hot. It even went cold before it warmed up. It's the off season so hot water should have been available immediately although that should be a normal expectation year round. Secondly, there is no place to put toiletries except on a small wooden stool which already held additional towels. There isn't even a place to put my own shampoo/conditioner/soap in the shower. The bathroom was plenty large and could easily accommodate additional shelving. If it's an issue with just one person's items, imagine what it's like for multiple guests sharing a room!

Overall the stay was nice and it is a cute hotel with interesting decor. The building was clean and the ataff was great. The doors to many of the rooms however are warped creating considerable gaps at the top or bottom. I was able to remedy this to a degree by locking the door but the aforementioned warping made it difficult.

Newly updated. Nice staff. Has a bar with food service and breakfast options. The hot water needed attention before we had hot water, and the charged a $25 plus tax resort fee that was a surprise to us at checkout. At least we did get extra services for fee.
