Simple upkeep and some thoughtful additions like hooks in the bathroom and by the door would make this place a little better. Fix the broken bathroom faucets in rm 402–why does a customer have to tell you this?!

Beautiful and Peaceful. Large room, wonderful sunrise views and amazing breakfasts. Friendly staff that respect your privacy and peace, so much that on a couple occasions I couldn’t find anyone. But if you want a quiet get away with a loved one, you’ll get it here.
