"The Inn is lovely and the staff is wonderful. The breakfasts were very filling with lots of great choices and the teatime and wine and cheese in the afternoon were lovely. The property could use some upgrading. The bathroom ceiling tiles were moldy and need to be replaced and outside of the guest room were trunks filled with cleaning supplies which should have been stowed way more discreetly. Itโ€™s an old house so the upkeep is considerable, but for the room rate, the place could use a little love."

"I've stayed here several times. They've done a lot of updates, so everything looks like new. We had some firm pillows that made our sleeping hard but asked if they had soft ones and they brought them right to us. The rest of the stay was so much better. Their continental breakfast used to rotate english muffins, bread for toast and bagels but sadly the 5 days we were there it was just bagels. It would be nicer for long term customers to rotate choices. I'll definitely stay there again. Love the view and location to shops and night strolls in the neighborhood."
