Not bad

Nothing was bad but nothing was great. The front desk was nice and seem to be doing everything. The room wasnt the cleanest we found a big cookie in between the bed and night stand and the carpet just didnt seem like it had been vacummed for awhile. The restaurant staff was very nice however the food was okay. Again not bad just not great.

This was our first time staying at this property and it was so charming. We loved the room and the ease of the restaurant. Breakfast was great and all the staff were incredibly helpful! Our only issue was the firmness of all of the furniture but that is more of a preference.
