Overall great stay.

This hotel is very welcoming and eclectic. The staff is very friendly. The attached restaurant and bar was wonderful. Only complaint I’d have is the condition of the shower/tub. Our tub had peeled ceramic and rust spots which gave it a less clean feeling. Hopefully when it time for improvement replacing those are the 1st on the list. The beds were very comfortable and the room was decorated adorably with the refreshed antique look.

Extremely friendly staff. gives you full sized bottles of water at no cost and extended our checkout time at the asking. Romm very clean and restaurant and nice coffee shop right there. Only negatives which were all minor in nature were no fan in bathroom so mirrors fogged up after shower, ceiling light in bathroom out but not replaced so maybe not work and no clock in our room.
