a stay with drawbacks
good qualityloud musicbar noise
the restaurant was lovely , i found the food to be of good quality.
the noise was an issue , unfortunately. our room sat right above the bar. it was difficult to relax after a long drive , due to the loud music and chatter. i wish i had known about the potential for noise beforehand.

the staff were so attentive and cute. i really liked that the food was sourced locally, it was very good quality! the room itself was comfy, i had a family room and it was well appointed.
our room was above the bar, that was a big problem. friday night music was loud. i also found that the general noise levels there was just high.

the food quality impressed me (especially the chef's special!). the interior design was charming with historical pictures covering the walls. i appreciated this touch.
the room's proximity to the bar meant i encountered some noise on one evening.
