This is our second stay at the Tavern - the room is really nice and comfortable and the staff are helpful.
The only issue being that we were in town visiting family both times and this time both the nights we stayed (Friday and Saturday) were interrupted by the incredible volume from the patrons of the tavern itself. Totally understand people younger and cooler than I staying up past midnight on the weekend but it made it almost impossible to go to sleep before then and despite closing the windows it felt like the screaming, whooping, cheering and singing of the national anthem at 11pm was happening right outside our door.
To sum up, the accom is great - but can be complicated due to the proximity of the bar.
