We got an updrade to a different house. I really like staying in an old inn rather than a hotel. My only complaint is the mattress was not comfortable. Which ultimately becomes a deal breaker. My lower back was in pain for 2 days after my stay. The location is great. My husband forgot is shirt and jacket and we were a 2 minute walk from The Gap and Jos. A Bank. We walked to breakfast in the morning so nice and close to Broadway and Thames St.
