mixed feelings about the stay

very cleansmall roomdisorganized breakfast
the room was very clean, which i appreciated.
The inn looked charming, but the room felt quite small. i also found the breakfast a bit disorganized. My request for soft boiled eggs was not met, and they arrived hard boiled without egg cups or a teaspoon. it was disappointing, especially considering the price.

I had a standard double room. The room included a nice shower and comfortable bed. I enjoyed that the hotel allowed dogs, It creates a cute environment.
The bathroom door did not shut well and got stuck sometimes. It was a problem. there was some sort of machine next to my room so there was noise ALL night.
