It's difficult to find staff. I'm not fond of the keyless check in process and no one at the front counter. The breakfast could be better, too. The room is lovely and everything was very clean.

It is a cute cosy place, and near some rustic shops. But it has its problems. Check in was online via emailed link. Worked, but was confused by advertising. Room entry was by keypad. Took some getting used to. Breakfast bar was not well thought out. After same baked good for 3 days, some were not edible. Milk for cerial was not labled, some was actually half and half. Also, there is a trip hazard right in front of the breakfast bar. Almost everyhone trips on it the first time they approach the bar.

Bang for the buck

What a room! The only reason for the four stars was the carpet looked old and dirty. The room was nice it felt like being in a b&b. Todd was great checking in super attentive and the hotel was really detailed about how to access your room if you got in after 10pm. Best room I stayed in on my 8 day east coast stay.

Clean, comfortable and inexpensive.

Clean, comfortable, inexpensive, and perfect location if you're touring Longwood Gardens. Multiple food choices that are an easy walk across the parking lot or road (busy but with a traffic light that's not out of the way for pedestrian crossings).
