We loved it. The bathroom mirror was very smeared liked cleaned with something greasy or a dirty rag. We took care of it but wanted someone to know…it looked almost smoky. We will definitely stay again when we come back.

Thank you so much for your kind review—we’re so glad you loved your stay and would choose to return.
We truly appreciate you bringing the mirror to our attention. That’s certainly not the standard we aim for, and we’ve addressed it with our team to ensure it’s corrected moving forward.
We’d love to host you again next time you’re in town.
Great place to stay. Easy check in. We were able to bring our dogs with us which was a highlight for us. Cute and cozy place. The only thing we would report is the step into the bathroom. There is a hazard strip on it to alert you going into the bathroom, but nothing to remind you of the step going out of the bathroom. Great location. Only minutes from downtown and great food
