First time staying here, this Inn/Hotel is by far the Nicest, Cleanest, Best smelling hotel I have ever stayed at, it was spotless. We were given a third floor room directly over looking ponds with an Otter, lots of fish, and Canadian Geese. I highly recommend this hotel.

The Esenhaus Inn has been our favorite place to stay. It is very quiet and beautiful. Had a balcony room which we sat out on and watched the geese and ducks in the pond. Shopping and the restaurant is walking distance. Staff is very friendly and very organized. Their breakfast had a good variety of choices. Will be back .
