Hotel is great and charming. Breakfast is off the charts. Except room had musty odor which worsened over the stay. Unfortunate. Hotel was very accommodating and we share some blame for not letting them know there was an issue sooner. They did compensate us and were terrific as far as service goes but the room was musty.

Wonderful coffee/tea area for anytime you walked through. Reading area and beautiful veranda. Pool area was fenced and quaint.
