We booked our stay here at the last minute and we were wonderfully surprised. The staff was so helpful and kind. The premises was charming and quaint and clean. The Libby was beautiful with a true cottage core feel. Loved the cookie and sangria on arrival. The color scheme. Outside was lovely cream and black trim with lush greenery hanging down . Inside was bright clean and so comfortable. We booked the king size bed and loved that the room had a fireplace. Nice tv coffe and bottled water with lovely wicker seating. Also love the seating infront of our room. The outdoor fireplace and seating was also lovely. This immediately became a traditional place for us for our next trip. Thank you so so much for making our stay lovely. Also we god a solid night sleep with the bed and loved that the windows and shutters opened. :-)

This hotel is absolutely charming! Great service and great location. Having Brophy's onsite is very convenient. There is also sangria and cookies daily for guests in the lobby. The continental breakfast was plenty to get us going every morning. Espresso maker in the room, and coffee in the lobby. The property landscaping adds to its beauty. The ability to open windows to let the fresh, cool air into the rooms was also very nice. Our room had a smell that I can only compare to what your grandma's house smelled like. Not a bad smell, but definitely a smell I associate with age. We were on the second floor and our floors creaked when we walked which made me wonder if the first floor guests could hear us. There is no elevator so if you are needing an ADA compliant room your choices may be limited.

What a charming little hotel! Our room was spacious. The beds were comfortable. We had a private balcony where we could leave the door open for fresh air. Property has an area with fire pit and hot tub. There is a Tavern attached to the hotel with great food, beer and service which we especially appreciated after a long day of travel. I would definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

Lovely property. Superb hot tub. Excellent welcome from Elizabeth at reception. Amazing Barman at adjacent Brophys Tavern. Room very nice, but strangely lacking in places to hang anything. Nowhere to hang bathrobes or wet bathing suits. Towels are at opposite end of bathroom, meaning a slippery walk across wet tile to get a towel. No room around basin for toiletries.

Overall, the hotel appeared to be clean. However, it was extremely dated, from the bathrooms to the beds. It felt more like a motel 6 than a "Hotel". Also, there were very few dining options that were close to the hotel. Luckily we were only there for 1 night. The staff were nice although they needed help as there was only 1 person working at registration. Bottom line, if you're just looking for a quick stopover to rest, this will do fine.
