The lady at the front desk was very helpful to me, with directions and storing my luggage on my last day there. Sunday brunch was amazing. Staff in general were friendly and helpful. Neat and clean hotel. Great location for all the sites that the area has to offer (Longwood Gardens, antique shopping, other museums, etc.).

Few hotel guests so the place is quiet. Location is in "horse country" and serene yet there is shopping and restaurants within a 5-10 min drive. This is our second stay at this hotel and we will stay again. I did not appreciate the surprise of being charged $10 for early check-in. We arrived 90 min before their check in time which was 4pm. Had this been posted on their Expedia page, I would not have been annoyed and would have requested an early check-in. I requested a room near the elevator as I am recovering from surgery which they accommodated. However, the room sign indicated it was for handicap. I was surprised to see a chair at the desk that had wheels (not handicap accessible nor safe. I requested an exchange of chairs so I could use the desk. The registration assistant could
