Pea Soup Andersen's Inn

Pea Soup Andersen's Inn

8/10 Good
"This hotel is so convenient. Our kids love the putting greens. The only problem we had was that we came back one day to find our door wide open and must have been for quite some time. We are unsure how it happened-whether it was our fault or someone at the hotel. Everything was there and as we left it so all was ok, just disconcerting. We love this place."
