Just stayed for a night but would have gladly stayed longer. It was quiet and cozy and they went the extra mile to make me feel at home and comfortable. My room had a huge jet tub which was very relaxing.

Very nice overnight stay.

We had a delightful overnight stay. Our room, the Willow room, was both elegant and comfortable. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The cold buffet breakfast provided a nice start to the day.

A lovely property with one big problem: the HVAC system emits a loud, high frequency droning noise that is inescapable on the second floor. Thankfully, the innkeeper was able to relocate us to the one bedroom available on the first floor, where we escaped the noise and had a good stay. The neighborhood is lovely, the location is convenient, breakfast was good, and street parking was easy to find.

Cozy Stay

This is our second stay and we loved this room too! In fact 2 other members of my family stayed here and we got to see other rooms - which were lovely. This is just a great, cozy, family-friendly place to stay.
