The bed was OK comfortable. And they did have hot water. The place needs an upgrade bathtub had tons of chips in it. I wasn’t sure if the bathroom floor was dirty or that was the way it was supposed to be.. they had absolutely drop dead, gorgeous flowers and landscaping. However, it was all being killed by Virginia creeper.. Dom was AMAZING!!

Positives: I loved the serene courtyard garden. The hotel staff was helpful, and the room was very clean. I appreciated the hotel's off-the-beaten-path location and the hotel's vintage sign was cool. Improvements: The hotel exterior needed refreshing with paint and cleaning and weeding.

I liked the cottage feel. Easy access to my car (couldn't be better}. The bed is comfortable and it is quiet. I found an ant and a spider, but that is probably par for an area so close to the wood.

We only stayed for 1 night, but it was quiet and cozy. The little courtyard was nice. Staff was very friendly and courteous. Our room was clean and we had no complaints of anything. We definitely will stay again in the future.
