Great stay. Internet was spotty though.

Very nice Inn, kept very clean, nice location. Staff is friendly and helpful but a little less available during the week than on weekends. None of the rooms have a coffeemaker. The standard room is very small with no TV but the more updated rooms will have one. We would stay at this Inn again.

Absolutely love this Inn and will be back again and again. Only small downside for me were the bathroom towels as they are quite rough. But that's a small negative. Staff is wonderful and attentive and the full experience is top notch and classy.

The Inn needs an update. Our room had no television, refrigerator, bathtub or fireplace. The bright spot was the Side Bar which has excellent jazz shows
