The room and ben linens did not smell fresh, so that was a disappointment. However, the room was cute. They provide robes which was great for going to the hot tub. Bathroom was great and very clean. Every room has outdoor seating and in the morning a breakfast basket appears at your door. They have free wine tasting at 4p. Service was friendly and helpful. The hot tub area is very cute and has a fireplace. It closes a little early, however, (9:45). Probably because quite time starts at 10p. We will be back.

An amazing hotel!

We had a lovely two night stay, Rudy on the front desk was fantastic, helpful, and informative, the room was a little dated but in excellent condition complete with fridge, coffee, microwave and plenty of space. The breakfast they served was really nice and their amenities including their happy hour was great. Would stay again!

This is a great value for the area. The staff was very nice and helpful, and we loved the happy hour. I didn't necessarily realize that our room would be across the street, but it wasn't too far, and everything else was very comfy!
