Comfortable visit

Our stay was ok. Pleasure trip during leaf peeping season. Beds were comfy. Room was ok. Breakfast questionable. Upon arrival the night before, the breakfast bread box was housed on the floor in the front desk area. The breakfast prep area for staff is a small closet that looked to be very unkept/unsanitary. This hotel is older and has been somewhat renovated. The ice water available at the front desk was wonderful. This property is near a beautiful walking/biking trail which we enjoyed. Not many staff working however those we ran across were pleasant.
