Check-in was easy, the house was clean and quiet. It was a nice, antique looking house. However, nowhere did I see posted that breakfast was only served on the weekends, so we were expecting that. It was kind of pricey to not have breakfast included. There were some holes and stains on the comforter and the smoke detector chirped the whole time we were there.
