We were lucky to find a room at Author’s during Spring Break season. Stayed as a family of 3 in the Wilder room and it was spacious enough. Rooms are kept very clean and the overall place feels very comfy. Breakfast was good enough with bagels, coffee, yogurt, boiled eggs and cereals.

Hard to reach staff after hours for late night check in. Would never have gotten in had it not been for other guests coming in after dinner. Rooms were dark and not enough lighting. The bed was comfortable.
