I wish we could have spent more time here to take advantage of all the amenities. The hotel was adorable & our room was quite large (& not just because it had 3 beds). The restaurant was excellent, which was nice because we got in so late. Read more

The rooms were EXTREMELY CLEAN and nicely kept. Only reason for 4 stars is the rooms ( especially bathroom and shower) were very small and the sloping roof over the bed made me feel a little claustrophobic
