8/10 Very Good

Charming and Quaint, but with a Few Quirks
If you're looking for a quaint, old-world charm, this hotel delivers. It feels like stepping into a European boutique stay, with beautifully designed interiors and cozy sitting areas perfect for conversations or curling up with a book. The ambiance is relaxed, and the wine region location adds to its serene vibe. That said, this hotel is definitely different from the typical American chain experience. The service can be a bit slower, and some amenities you might expect—like a TV, mini fridge, or late-night bar/restaurant—aren't available. It’s a place to unplug, but if you prefer the convenience of having everything at your fingertips, it might not be for you. A heads-up on the breakfast: while it's made to order and uses high-quality ingredients (the produce and coffee bar are excellent), it does take a while to be served. Be sure to leave some extra time in the morning. Another thing to note: the walls are thin. Most guests seem to turn in early (as you'd expect in wine country), but if you happen to have a louder neighbor, you’ll hear them. On the plus side, the hotel offers a lovely wine happy hour and warm cookies at night, which were a nice touch. If you're looking for a unique, more relaxed stay away from the usual chain hotels, this place offers that—just be prepared for a few trade-offs in modern conveniences.

The staff needs proper training in hospitality. Every little question was asked was responded to as if it was a chore. Guests are paying a lot to be there and they should be treated as if they are guests, not people walking in off the street.

4/10 Fair

We were assigned a second floor room which was only accessible by stairs. We were offered a ground floor room that turned out to be disabled accessible which we did not need. The water pressure in the shower was terrible, the bed was not at all comfortable, and no tv, phone or alternatives. Pedestal sink offered no place to put any toiletries. We were celebrating a special occasion and were so disappointed we left after one night. The online pictures of the rooms were lovely, but not our room.

Cute, quaint Inn
Very nice inn; however, there is no elevator & most of the rooms are upstairs. The rooms are air conditioned, but the rest of the inn just has box fans around. Also, no refrigerator, microwave, or television in the rooms. The room we had was decorated really nice. The inn is decorated nicely, also. Really beautiful part of town, nestled in a quiet neighborhood.
