Needed a quiet, quick getaway. Great tub situation that got me in the lovely snowy cold. Boxed breakfast, while conveniently delivered, is kinda limited. Great, helpful staff.

Nice room. Was small and quaint but plenty of room for 1 night. The heater being right under the window curtains was not good. Kept blowing air up behind the curtains so our room was freezing. Wasn’t till we opened the curtains in the morning till our room finally warmed up.
