Last minute holiday stay
This was a last minute one night stay with the family. It was clean though there was a smoke smell to one of the rooms. We loved the kitchenette and appreciated the afternoon cookies and cheese along with the continental breakfast. It was a little pricey for what it is but to be expected on a holiday weekend. The service was great and we will be back.

Wonderful surprise
We were pleasantly surprised by our king room - it had a full on kitchen, beautifully remodeled bathroom, comfortable bed and a slider to a gorgeous patio garden area. We loved the local wines and cheese at happy hour. But the breakfast was the best. Perfectly cooked oatmeal, blueberries, some sort of egg, spinach bites with green salsa, fresh ripened fruit cut up and displayed perfectly and pastries, bagels and cereal, yogurt cups with blueberries and granola available. Wonderful coffee. We left early in the morning having a wonderful rest and happy tummys. I filled up my water bottle with cucumber water. Love this adorable boutique hotel. Thank you! Thank you for doing it well.

I double booked the hotel via two different Expedia accounts by mistake, totally forgot one of them. Front desk remind me that I have two active bookings and refunded me one of the reservations. Hotel is very nice, has heated swimming pool and hot jacuzzi, room is large, even has kitchen. I was greeted with a bottle of sparkling wine as Expedia VIP member.
