The room was spotless! The staff was (receptionist Lee) so friendly and welcoming! The king sized bed was exceptionally comfy! Breakfast starts at 7am which we appreciated since we wanted to go out sightseeing early. Choice of muffins, croissants, bagels, juice, yogurt, fruit, cereals, etc. And delicious coffee! We loved this little inn and can't wait to return!
