The property and breakfast sir was are lovely, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the staff goes above and beyond. We were there on Halloween but it was raining terribly that night, so the staff let her truck or treat around the hotel and even got a couple of guests in on it. It was the sweetest, most generous act and by the whole team. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this hotel and their team.
