The room was very nice as was the staff. I loved the roof top seating areas. We brought our wine to watch the sunset. Lovely. They have a record player in the room and you can use albums from the lobby. Bring your own if you have them. 😀 They offer a nice healthy breakfast that you can take with you to the room or up to the roof. Great spot to walk to local restaurants. We had a drink at the Shanty right next to the lodge. Drinks were good and a fun place to hang out for a bit.

The people were great. The rooms were clean and super cute. As well as all of the rooftop outdoor space I don’t know how they keep it that clean, but they do.
They definitely need to add a second low comfy chair. It was a sweet space to eat our breakfast.
