local restaurants selection of items

Laura provided recommendations about local restaurants. The breakfast included a selection of items from which I could choose, and the coffee was AMAZING!!!

The parking space was sometimes slightly tight, it made me take time when parking.

fantastic stay

original features airy room

the hotel had lots of original features, the rooms were beautifully decorated and airy. it was close to the center. i have booked to stay again in september. i honestly can't say enough about how awesome this place is.

i needed to store luggage after checkout. i was told that i can leave our luggage out on the porch, where anyone can enter. i think there should be a safer option.
