Charming Stay

friendly staffgreat selectionattentive servicesoundproofing issue
I found the staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast provided a great selection and everything tasted fresh. The restaurant's evening menu had excellent options and fair prices for the quality. I particularly appreciated the attentive service throughout my stay and the ease of parking.
I noticed the soundproofing between rooms was not ideal. Sounds traveled fairly easily which was distracting at times.
