Attention to detail top notch
Overall the stay at Cottage Mews was excellent. Lots of attention to detail from the welcome and goodbye emails, to the well appointed cottages with just about everything you could need. Washing machine free in laundry and dryer only $2. Plenty of eating options within walking distance. Only gripes were the small low pressure shower head, sound proofing not great between rooms and doors, floors and stairs all squeak. But these are minor gripes and overall would recommend this motel.
