The property is a lovely older hotel in excellent condition. The hot breakfast was great and served in the original dining room. There are veranda rooms with rocking chairs. The staff is very helpful and the pool area is good. The parking is easy and our room was quiet and clean.

Definitely staying here again next time we visit. The breakfast was top notch and everything was cooked fresh and to perfection. Only downside was the parking, but was able to find parking very close every night. Easily 5 stars every time
