Lovely setting with friendly and attentive staff
This is a warm and welcoming environment where you can have everything you need for a short stay away from home. The staff are polite and always helpful, and enjoy getting to know a bit about the guests and what brings them to the area.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast is sparse and runs out early and quickly
Although the breakfast is tasty, it's often not served with enough amounts to amply go around. Depending on how many guests are at the inn, the offerings are likely to run out quickly, so if you're not there right when it's served, you may not get anything to eat.
negative:
Rooms aren't always cleaned and well maintained
Housekeeping could use a bit of a refresher course, as the rooms aren't always consistently maintained. There are spots left to be swept or wiped down, and amenities such as paper products are not always replenished.
negative:
Parking involves listening to sales pitches
You have to obtain a parking pass, and unfortunately it often includes sales pitches for a variety of attractions and services. It's impolite, awkward, and just bad business to put guests through the spiels in order to get what's needed to park.
