Property was old and very outdated for the price.the carpet is too dirty. Also, it was noisy at night. We could hear footsteps going up the stairs.

I expected more based on the photos of the room I was booking. Apparently it was not available. Ours had tiny bathroom and it bothered me The rest was good and the area is beautiful.

We loved the location and staff! Our room, the hideaway room, was a little dated and dark. We sat outside on the patio which was cute. The chair cushions were a bit dirty and the roof had weeds growing on it so it seemed a little neglected. However, Summer, at the front desk was very helpful and kind. We love the area and walkability! The breakfast was nice! If they updated the bedding and carpet/interior, we would definitely go back!

Location is great, it’s dated but charming. It needs attention to some few details. Carpet could use a deep clean, and the bed smelled musty. Grounds are beautiful and could be tidying up a bit. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again. The continental breakfast was a nice touch and done well.
