Not worth the price. Bed was awful, lumpy and woke up in pain from the bed. Door didnt close to bathroom. Just not worth it. Breakfast was a joke, someone left half a bagel..

Loved everything except the bed - the foam topper on the mattress did not allow us to turn from side to side easily. Very difficult to get out of.

This boutique stay with a quaint charm was way more than expected. We knew it got good ratings, but we literary were amazed at the charm of this place. The room we had was amazing, staff was incredible, and the restaurant had incredible food. Our bed was very comfortable and the room was spotless. It was a sweet surprise after our long day of travel. We will definitely be back.

After we checked in, the front desk clerk walked us to our room. everyday we had a bag of croissants on our door everyday. That was a nice gift. Not much for breakfast. Only toast, bagels and cereals. Limited drinks only draw back. If they had a full breakfast for the price of the room would make it a great place.
