Super service and attentiveness by Rick, Tammy and team, we felt welcomed as soon as we walked into the door. They offered a social hour, which allowed us to mingle with other guests and be merry. Walking distance from nearby restaurants and historic houses, so you can stroll for food and sightseeing. Had issues with card details, but they secured my booking anyway.
