Good place to stay

Desk rep at mid-day was starchy. 😣. But the rep later on the afternoon was very friendly and helpful. 😊 Spacious room with a very comfortable bed. Plenty of towels. A bit difficult to regulate room temperature but we finally got it where it was comfortable. Nice grounds. Close to good restaurants (especially the Japanese one). Clean. Safe. A nice stay. Good breakfast too.

Liked that most attractions were within walking distance. The breakfast was great. There are nicer B and Bs and hotels closer to the tourist areas in town, but this place, although showing its age, was good for the price.

The rooms were clean. But dreary. The staff was unfriendly borderline rude. I felt like when I asked questions.I was more of a bothering the front desk girls. The breakfast was okay seen like it was slopped together. The only. Thing that was good was the biscuits and gravy And the packaged desserts. The property seem unkept You can always tell when something is only surface clean. Found a few bugs in our room. Definitely would not stay again And Definitely was not worth the high rate for this room. Pictures online were very deceiving. The place did not look as a nice in person as it Did in the pictures.
