The location was perfect… felt safe waking around at night loved the friendly helpful staff… Would have liked to have had mini fridge in room to keep cold drinks and if you left bathroom door open could hear water running in other room and heard one guy snoring during night in there. LOL. But with door closed could not hear any of it…. Little more space under door then a newer hotel entering room just due to age of hotel and had group of young folks decide to hold loud conversation just outside our door late in evening but would have heard that anywhere the folks where issue not hotel…. Best water pressure I have ever had in a hotel!! There was kind of a musty smell when we first got in room but honestly did not notice it after that first few hours whether we got use to it or having fan/heat running in room circulated air and dissipated cannot say which… Would recommend this hotel think they are doing some renovations which would be nice but hopefully they will keep the older historic feel….

It was a quaint older hotel with the charm of a bygone era. It was updated and freshly painted and VERY clean. We really liked the old world feel of this boutique hotel. HIGHLY recommend this hotel.
