Loved by guests
"The breakfast is excellent- it's way better than your typical continental hotel breakfast with fresh fruit, pastries, and bread."
"Staying here felt more like visiting a relative than like staying in a chain hotel--the decorations and linens are much less bland than most hotels."
"Sweet rooms with very comfortable beds.. Always clean, and the standard breakfast spread includes many options, all delicious (such as a big bowl of fresh cut strawberries!)."
