    The lady and her little dog greeted us upon arrival and was very friendly. We met the partner later on and he was just as welcoming. The room was clean and quiet. This is a nice place to stay if you want to feel the home like feeling.

    It was a delight to experience Carmen's French Breakfast, which was well presented and served. I also note that her hotel is "Rainbow Registered," welcoming LGBTQ persons to comfortable and safe stays.
