This is a lovely property very convenient to walk to restaurants, shopping and coffee shops. Pillows could better but didn't diminish our enjoyment of the lovely porch and happy hour! The restaurant was closed but will definitely make a nice option when available

Lawrence, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved this neighborhood gem. The property ambiance was casual yet very inviting. There were small seating areas in various locations. Our group spent hours chatting in the living room-like lobby and patio areas. My husband and I stayed in one of the quaint cottages and loved it. This property is perfect for larger groups. We would stay here again in a second.

10/10 Excellent

Cutest hotel, great location, amazing staff - such a nice stay
Christine, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

It’s a cute hotel from outside but rooms are terrible. My room was smelling so bad. Mist probably, there was mold everywhere. The furniture is old and smelly too. Bathroom is terrible too. The quality/price ratio is very poor.
