A beautiful Inn but lacking...

Liked: The property is beautiful, both on the inside and outside. Much care went into the interior decor. The furniture, artwork, and other adornments are unique and tastefully selected. Consideration went into small details such as having ice scrappers and umbrellas available in the entryway.
Disliked: A sense of hospitality was lacking. Over a three night stay, I had no direct contact with the owner or anyone else affiliated with the Inn. Both check-in and check-out were contactless, and breakfast was entirely self service of frozen or store bought items (English muffins, dry cereal, oatmeal packets, yogurt, bananas, etc.). As well, the property has a number of posted signs that had a mildly off-putting tone: an "UNDER RECORDED VIDEO SURVEILLANCE" in the kitchen, "WIPE YOUR FEET" with large yellow caution symbols, an impersonal letter upon arriving labeled "READ DIRECTIONS FIRST", and warning that I would be charged $25 if I remove/steal the flashlight from my $300+ a night room (prices were higher for UIUC father's weekend). Overall, it was different from all my other bed and breakfast experiences, which have been warm and welcoming.

Best place we have ever...

Liked: Everything was amazing -- beautiful inside and out! So comfortable and well appointed. Can't say enough about our experience. A++

Great place to stay for...

Liked: The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, the hotel is furnished with great attention to detail, and the snack bar and breakfast are really convenient.

Enjoyed my experience very much!...

Liked: I didn’t get to try the breakfast unfortunately. I slept too late. The shower was refreshing. The bed was quite firm, my husband likes a firm bed. Lovely lobby and front porch. I really liked the very easy check in and front entrance and instructions. I had a secret desire for an English breakfast but I know that is not very practical. Loved the robes provided, esp since the bathroom was across the hall.
Disliked: Next time I wouldn’t mind booking a room with a small desk or en suite bathroom.

Relaxing, pleasant, and a check-off on my bucket list.

Liked: It was a normal bed & breakfast meal; it was okay. I had thought homemade rolls for breakfast but misunderstood.
