Staff was very nice however, when I arrived no one was at the desk for a good 15 minutes so I just stood there waiting for someone. Then on another occasion, I went to the front for something, and again, no one was there. I looked outside and the front desk girl was on her cellphone. Very unprofessional . I also had an issue where the room next to mine had an alarm clock go off at 6 am. I could hear everything bc the walls are PAPER THIN. The alarm was going off for 30 min straight and I called the front desk. They went up and shut it off bc no one was in the room. They should make sure all alarms are shut off when a guest leaves.

Loved this place! Our room had a few extra visitors but overall the atmosphere was very relaxing and homey. The staff were attentive and helped ensure all our concerns were addressed. We've recommended this place to others visiting the area and would love to come stay again. Our room was on the side of the cemetery but still worth it.

Room was nice enough, there wasn't much of a view. We were on the 3rd floor and didn't realize there was a banquet room above us. The chairs scraping above us was annoying. Thankfully the parties both Friday and Saturday ended early. Staff at the frontdesk were super sweet and helpful.
