Be prepared for artificial flowers and cheap do-dads. The free breakfast falls into this category too: cheap and processed. But employees/service are very nice and the location is great.

The Inn and Caroline house are beautiful. Liz and Carter took care of us and were so kind and thoughtful. We are also innkeepers, and we learned a lot from the team here and the building. Tip: if you’re staying at Caroline house, be sure to grab breakfast at the Inn one morning if you enjoy socializing with other guests over breakfast!!
We stayed on the 3rd floor of the Inn. The Inn was absolutely beautiful. The staff wonderful and the breakfast divine, especially the scones. We were right by the river front and enjoyed the shops and restaurants all walking distance. Enjoyed our stay!

Personnel were very warm and inviting. They asked about our food preferences, checked if we needed our room serviced and helped us with finding an automotive repair shop as we had breaks squealing just before we arrived. And they were located near the train station so you can walk there.
It was SO much better than staying in a hotel.
