My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at this wonderfully cozy inn (Room 5). Denise the receptionist was cordial. She didn't go out of her way to make us feel welcome. But she definitely was not rude. However the owner was extremely kind, welcoming and friendly. The room was impeccably designed and modern. The grounds were well maintained. Towels were readily available. The housekeeping lady along with the gentleman I think was possibly the maintenance worker were WONDERFUL!!! . They both were absolutely ACCOMDATING AND KIND. Keep them on your staff roster. Parking was convenient. The television, microwave, and refrigerator was a great touch. My husband and I look forward to another visit soon. God bless you abundantly!
