The hotel was easy to find and plenty of parking. The woman who was at the desk when I came in was very personal and made me, as a solo person, feel very safe and comfortable. The room was comfortable and large, the breakfast was great with homemade goodies!

Katja was so kind in accommodating our late arrival and even leaving our room lights on for us. Continental breakfast was divine with homemade baked goodies and granola with yogurt. All high quality and delicious. Excellent coffee too! Just sad we only stayed one night, as we would have loved to explore Camden more. Beautiful small town!
