Nicole, Dec 2014

Pros. Comfy bed and nice linens. Cute, quaint atmosphere in the room. Entire place was quiet and peaceful. Direct TV was a plus, it was nice to have the guide and tons of channels. Staff was friendly.

Cons. Wifi password should be posted in the room, instead I had to call someone to get the password. Combo AC/Heater unit was loud and a bit annoying (compared to other heating options) because the fan was always on.
