    We recently spent 3 nights in the Oleander Room. The Garden Inn is charming, the owners are attentive and the king size bed was very comfortable. We opted to get breakfast out (which was an option here) and that worked well as we were visiting family. We had hot coffee outside our room each morning and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!
