The room snacks and little fridge pleased me. The heater operated . The provided robe felt very comforting to me. I found the lighting lovely, cleanliness great, and the bed was so comfy.
The front desk has only one person. This sometimes makes check-in slow. I wish there were always two people available.

every staff member was a delight and so easy to talk to. the food was amazing!!! there were so many options for drinks too, i just loved it. cute rooms definitely gave this place a wonderful charm.
the restaurant was great, but the cocktails were not up to par. the bartender seemed inexperienced. the cocktails tasted watered down and lacked complexity. i think they could improve their cocktail menu.
