Ryan Mansion
Mary was great and made you feel right at home! Breakfast was really delicious and such a nice, personal way to start the day. The bed is very comfortable and the location to downtown was perfect. I’d highly recommend staying at the Ryan Mansion any time of year! Thank you, Mary!

Jag Boutique Hotel
We had coffee and a tea bun as the breakfast room wasn’t opened until 11o’clock. That was a disappointment. The tea bun was wrapped in Saran Wrap but it was dried up. That was very very disappointing.

Staff were great and room was clean. One elevator was out of service, which is difficult for someone who is disabled. The pool was out of commission.
