Nice hotel for your local stay
Pros:

Comfy beds and good warm breakfast. Friendly staff and good lication

Cons:

Towels in bathroom were across the room from the tub/shower.
You either had to track water over to them or had to put the clean towels on the floor next to the tub.
In addition, we could tell that we were given a handicap room however there was not a walk in shower only a high sided tub. That would be very hard for a disabled person to get into the tub.

Clean. Great location. Great big room.
Pros:

Great room. Clean. Easy to find.

Cons:

The exhaust fan was so loud while in the bathroom. While it worked very well, in the night time if I turned it on it would wake up my companion in the room if the door was ajar.

It was beautiful place to stay, but could use a couple of improvements!
Pros:

The room was beautiful and clean. It was on the ground floor which was convenient for taking my little dog to potty. There were nice seating areas outside.

Cons:

I booked a pet-friendly room online thinking I had paid all fees, but when I arrived, I had to pay an additional $30 pet fee. I felt that was misleading and maybe extravagant pricing, especially since my little dog weighs only 11 pounds.
The breakfast was good, but left a little to be desired in quality.
