Louise

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We were assigned a second floor room which was only accessible by stairs. We were offered a ground floor room that turned out to be disabled accessible which we did not need. The water pressure in the shower was terrible, the bed was not at all comfortable, and no tv, phone or alternatives. Pedestal sink offered no place to put any toiletries. We were celebrating a special occasion and were so disappointed we left after one night. The online pictures of the rooms were lovely, but not our room.

Cute, quaint Inn
Very nice inn; however, there is no elevator & most of the rooms are upstairs. The rooms are air conditioned, but the rest of the inn just has box fans around. Also, no refrigerator, microwave, or television in the rooms. The room we had was decorated really nice. The inn is decorated nicely, also. Really beautiful part of town, nestled in a quiet neighborhood.

Despite the lovely property we did not get the king bed we booked but a small bed perhaps a double. We hardly slept all night.

Low on amenities, but otherwise fantastic
Great location and very clean accommodation. Air conditioning is super strong too which is a bonus for the hot summer days. Only downside is that there are not many amenities. No TV, no robes, no slippers. Aside from that, it's fantastic

We loved our stay here! The chef breakfasts were excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Only recommendations would be black out curtains me wiping down the spider webs on the patio area- all the seating had webs.

Wonderful home base for a quick trip to wine country. Loved the wine and cheese in the afternoon and full breakfast in the morning. Room was clean and charming. Bathroom needs updating.

I think this place has false advertising. I walked into a room that smelled horrible. There was flies everywhere. The bathroom needs major updating. Definitely not worth $450. Max I would pay is $200 and at this point I am definitely going to request a refund.
