Nice property grounds, dog park. Rooms are nice, carpets smelled a bit mildewed. But they were shampooing rooms, and the coast is damp, so it is probably common. Room felt clean otherwise. I like a chair in the room so I don’t have to always sit on the bed. They had a nice and comfy recliner.

Lovely grounds

Comfortable, very clean older hotel. Awesome grounds, lots of plants and spaces to hang. Spent two nights —- first night woken after midnight by very noisy people in adjacent room. Luckily, they left with their loud cars and friends the next day. Otherwise, quiet, reasonably priced place.
