The room was quaint until I woke up to a cockroach in the bathroom. My room was right next to the restaurant (where i had eaten the night before), I couldn't help but wonder if it was infested as well.

New ownership - and it shows. We have stayed here many times and this was by far the worst experience. The special little quirks that made this place so special have been done away with. Used to be our go to spot, but not sure we will be back. The bartenders were the only saving grace of the entire trip.
