romantic getaway at the inn
calm staff quick response immaculate room
i enjoyed the complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate, water, and cookies in my immaculate room. the staff showed a quick, calm, and professional response to the fire across the road, which i value. they evacuated us quickly and calmly, always keeping me in the loop.
the menu felt limited and the breakfast menu needed more variety to satisfy my taste.
