Friendly, decent breakfast, beds need improving
Pros:

Great location, nice staff. I like that they accept dogs. Rooms were clean. Nice big TV. I like that the staff followed up with a phone call to make sure that the room was ok.

Cons:

Pillows sucked. All 4 were lumpy and it was hard to get comfortable. Bed spread was really thin. Could've used an extra blanket. Maybe you should keep an extra blanket in the closet.

Great stay in a great location. Would stay here again.
Pros:

The hotel was clean, the staff were very friendly and accommodating and the whole place had way more charm than I was expecting.

Cons:

The beds left both of us pretty crippled up in the mornings. This is my only complaint - otherwise our stay was perfect.

Disappointed, having asked for a quiet room.
Pros:

Lovely staff

Cons:

Noise from traffic, proximity of room right next to reception, could hear staff all the time, room on the ground floor right next to the elevator.
