Kristina is AMAZING. My best friend and I do an anual "mom-cation" and stayed here the first year. Kristina was wonderful and was the main reason why we stayed here the following trip (this year)
She is knowledgable about things going on in the area, helpful and kind.

The property is very nice and the staff welcoming. The bed was comfortable. It IS an historic property so some things are not modern. It has a small fridge and a keurig type coffee pot but no microwave. The bathroom has very little shelf space. Our room faced the main street so there was traffic noise but it was mostly quiet after the businesses closed. The breakfast provided was basically a carb-fest with toast, waffles, muffins, etc so diabetics and keto folks be aware and plan ahead. The coffee was good. It has an elevator but some of the doors and layout is smallish so people with walkers, wheelchairs and service animals be aware. We didnt ask for an accessible room so those are probably better.

Staff was phenomenal. Beds were soft and very comfortable. Heater worked well. Room was clean. Only downside because it is an older building the walls are fairly thin and you can hear louder cars and people out on the street.
