Paula

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Breakfast was good but I was hoping for a bagel.The room was fine but could use new furniture. The furniture that was in our suite was very old & worn. The bathroom was very clean. I dont usually take a bath but I felt comfortable taking one because it was so clean. Courtney our server at the Bistro was wonderful.She went above & beyond to make our new years eve dinner special. This was our 3rd time staying for new years & were so glad she was our server again. We have stayed at the Inn many times & will definitely be back.
