Alan and I would like to thank you for your review and all of the positive things that you shared on line about our Inn. I felt it important to share with you as well as anyone that reads this review that just a few days following your departure we had delivered to The Romantica Suite two new sofas that are quite comfortable. As a matter of fact, they were ordered prior to your stay. You were actually the last ones in that room before the new sofas arrived.

We do so appreciate your suggestion to have a thermos. We are now leaving one to all guests that eat out on the deck.

We have been trying new coffee blends and were in that process at the time that you visited. We have finally selected a blend that seems to be enjoyed by the majority of our coffee drinkers.
