This is my fourth time staying at Ulysses and everything was excellent as usual. The staff were super friendly (the check in lady even congratulated my husband and I on our recent marriage!), the room was clean and comfortable, and I felt taken care of throughout my stay. Can’t wait to come back again!
My Very Good pancakes with blackberries and blueberries-delicious!
My Breakfast platter on Thanksgiving morning-filling, fairly priced, and tasty!
