Charming Boutique Stay!

pet friendly staywell appointed roomhelpful staffsecure parking
This hotel is pet friendly, very important to us! The rooms and restaurant area were wonderfully appointed. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. Pre arranged secure parking included allocated spaces with my name. This feature was secure, safe, and priced reasonably!!!
The towels provided were not the fluffiest. This is a minor detail, but I think it's worth noting for those who prefer extra plushness.
