Sweet Hotel
We were just in town one night on our way elsewhere. It was fun to explore the area around the hotel, though it was not very much. The food was awesome! the hotel is very romantic and old.

Found a dirty sock in room from last guests. Head board on bed was ridiculous It’s not mounted to the bed and it’s not mounted to the wall. It’s just there and bangs the wall every time it’s touched. Other than that the place is amazing
