quality produce hotel items luggage assistance hard pillows
Breakfast was a highlight. The quality of the produce stood out. i especially liked that we could purchase items that were used in the room. It was a great idea.
On arrival, no one offered help with luggage. It was a bit disappointing. also, i found the pillows to be too hard. I usually prefer feather filling.

Some Issues Encountered During My Stay

torn carpet hard bed
The room I got was in definite need of some updates. The carpet had a large tear in the corner, which I thought was unsightly and potentially a tripping hazard. The television did not work. It had no signal. The bed was too hard, and it made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

Quaint and Unique Stay

breakfast choice interior design cute owner
Breakfast had AMAZING choices. Quality ingredients were used too. The interior design was lovely. I especially liked that items around the house and in the room were available for purchase. The owners were cute.
My room felt small. There was no wardrobe, but hooks were on the wall for hanging clothes. There were no drawers, so I lived out of my bag.
