The location of the inn was nice. Many cute stores and restaurants were around.

The shower water was TOO hot. Once it warmed up, I couldn't get it to cool down. Lighting in the room and bathroom area was bad, overly bright and cold white. The room was pricey for the quality.

The shower's water temperature proved difficult to regulate. It was excessively hot and resisted attempts to cool it. the lighting in both the room and bathroom was harsh. i also noticed a general lack of thorough cleaning in the room. there were coffee machine and cups stained from previous use, so we did not use them.
