We arrived after the desk staff were off duty but we received lots of helpful communication about accessing the facility and the room, parking, etc. The room, and the property in general, were really lovely. Breakfast was delicious. The only concern was some pet dander on the sitting room sofa that prompted a mild allergic reaction for us.

We totally enjoyed our stay. Peter was very helpful with suggestions of local eateries and things to do around town. There were fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the lobby, with access to coffee and a good selection of tea. Our room was on the second floor. They upgraded us, which was a nice surprise. Accommodations and linens were very clean. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, we will definitely return!
