a satisfactory stay

perfect locationhelpful stafflate check-inold rooms
I appreciated the perfect location . the balcony overlooking the creek was wonderful. It was a great view. the staff were helpful, so i am thankful.
I had to wait for the room. it was 4:15pm when the check in time was 2pm. That was annoying. when i requested a 1hour late check out to compensate for time lost, it was denied. the rooms are old, though the hotel is clean.

tender moments at a historical location

linen foldingcreek viewroadside space
the staff welcomed us with excellent service and genuine smiles. every day, the housekeeper surprised us with different bed linen folding, a really romantic touch. we also received a thank you gift before leaving, so lovely. i especially enjoyed the excellence creek view from our premium room.
during check-in , i noticed limited roadside space making it a bit hard to drop off luggage. we had to carry our bags to the lobby so, that was frustrating after a long flight. the porter was very helpful the next day though, when we needed to collect our bags.

My room had a balcony. I liked that I could smoke there. Breakfast was included, handy. The hotel gave easy access to any place i wanted to go.
The check-in process was not smooth. I had to wait. That was disappointing. I requested a late check-out five days prior. They denied it on the last day because they were fully booked.
