Innkeeper Response
How nice it was to host your family for your son's graduation! I appreciate all the wonderful comments you made as well. About the neighborhood, I'm sure you realized when you saw it by day that it isn't industrial at all. The car dealership down the way is closed after 5 PM and the vacant lots on the corners which I advise guests when giving direction, actually make this a very quiet residential neighborhood. Anything built on those lots are subject to architectural review because of the historical nature of the area. It gives us the better part of both worlds being so quiet and peaceful but just a few blocks to the wonderful shops and restaurants, namely OldTown. I'm glad your concerns were quickly put to rest. It was such a pleasure having you here!

Innkeeper Response
Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review! Of course I am very concerned about the hair in the tub and want to say, that is every innkeeper's dread. I vowed it would never happen here. These tubs are made for soaking and I truly wish you had let me know so you could have. I appreciate that you plan to return and the many very nice comments. It encourages me to keep doing what I love. Thanks again!
