Le petit déjeuner est une grosse déception, pas d'œufs, pas de fromage et des fruits de moindre qualité. La vaisselle en plastique...

Small town historic comfort and friendly hotel :)
Pros:

Inn keeper was friendly and knowledgeable. Entire hotel is beautiful and historic. Rooms were quaint and beds were extremely comfortable. This was the best hotel we stayed at during our 10 day road trip. Honestly, I don’t know why people would stay at the commercial hotels when you have this one right in the middle of town. Visit the cute bar across the street too ! Oh and breakfast was great- continental but still great !

Cons:

Loved everything!

Charming hotel
Pros:

Un hotel con historia con excelente ubicación. Excelente atención. Al ser un hotel antiguo no tiene tantas comodidades, la habitación no tenía televisor por ejemplo, pero como estuvimos solo una noche no fue necesario.

Pros:

Great location

Cons:

The bed situation in room 17. One of the beds in the loft was right against the low rail it felt a little unsafe. Also the top bunk has a very low rail that someone could easily fall off. Bed posts also blocked the view for the tv so the only place to really see it was on the floor. I understand the room is small but I feel maybe a different bed or a tv that can move around would help
