Pleasant Oasis in time of disaster

Arrived in time for wine and cheese, perfect after a stressful drive. Frank the desk clerk was accommodating and, upgraded us to a small studio. Old but charming decor and grounds. The evening cookies and milk was a lovely way to end the day. Our travel was 2days after the flood disaster the hotel was near a evacuation zone yet the staff maintained a calm and professional attitude. We left the inn to get dinner and rushed back to the seclusion of this oasis.
