Room Temperature was unable to be regulated Even with staff assistance Bathroom sink was/is clogged when ck’d in Garment hang bar totally insufficient Parking in rear unacceptable for seniors who not handicapped but over 80+ years old. Tv cable service and pink/blue remote something left over from the 70’s Tissue quality in bathroom was less than a Seedy Motel Very disappointed that a “Quality” reputation That the Public House held in the past has Now fallen so far by greedy Corporations that are Only interested in the bottom line.

Everything about our stay was excellent! We were there for a family wedding and it was splendid...the venue was perfect as was the food. Everyone we encountered were professional and warm. Our room was clean and comfortable and extremely spacious. The bathroom was completely unexpected...very updated. Highly recommend and we will return!

Very cute room. Felt very cozy, comfortable, and homey. Loved the little fireplace space warmer for ambiance. Room was spotlessly clean, bed was quite comfortable. Overnight guests got complimentary coffee, tea, and pastries from the bakery. And best of all, the room was very reasonably priced! I’ll definitely stay here again whenever I am in the area.
