Quaint antique hotel
Lovely antique hotel kept with great pride! Great staff. Close to lots of amenities. Did have a colder low flow shower, but it was unseasonably cool.

Historic Hotel
We love historic hotels so, we were ready for the quirks that come with these places. Because they have committed to keeping things historic our city view windows were single pane and the Saturday night street noise was significant. It didn’t make a difference in terms of our ability to enjoy the venue but, be ready for it. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They truly make the experience great.
