It's hard to find the driveway for the property but after that the hotel is close to all the area attractions. We walked everywhere. This is a quaint hotel with a friendly staff. The only drawback was the small shower.

The hotel is so lovely, I really enjoy smaller hotels with personality and vintage style, fabric headboards, crown molding, beautiful tile. It is under a bit of construction and our room overlooked the scaffold and parking lot which was a bummer. The staff is very accommodating and thoughtful - they agreed to switch our rooms, and sent me a bottle of wine and chocolates for my birthday! I loved being able to walk out o to the Main Street for shopping and dining. I will stay in this hotel again.

Every thing is good, except there’s no self parking. Valet parking is unnecessary and inconvenient, as the parking lot is just across the street.
