The Attwater
It is a very nice, cozy, conveniently located hotel. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Check-in and checkout were super easy. The breakfast that's included in the stay is wonderful, too. Fresh fruits, chia pudding, homemade omelet bake, yougurt... Thank you! Highly recommend!

Bellevue Manor
The inn was nice, but could use updating. Could not get tv to work - left a message but no reply received. Individual at desk, pleasant. Small breakfast was a nice touch. Would stay again.
