Pros +
- The woman who finalized the paperwork with us when we arrived was very nice and the room definitely exceeded our expectations. All around a great experience.
- Location was decent
- Breakfast included
Cons -
- The rooms are pretty broken down with peeling paint and desperately need repair, the bed wasn’t very comfortable. There was a tree in front of the only (tiny) window in my room so I couldn’t see outside at all. Overall very very disappointing. I ended up leaving early because I couldn’t stay another night in that room.

- This is old new England architecture with steep narrow stairs and small rooms. Did not detract from the experience but might not be suitable for everyone
