Had a pleasant and enjoyable stay at this hotel. The free breakfast was very good and will definitely stay at this hotel in the future.

It was convenient to have a small parking garage across the street from the hotel since there was a snow/ice storm when we stayed! It’s an older building but the room was nice enough and breakfast was included at their cafe.

Our room was very nice, better than we expected for an older building. The fridge and amenities in the room were handy. And the free cooked to order breakfast at the in-hotel restaurant 2nd Street Cafe was very good.

Disappointed in this Hotel

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything! A good deep cleaning would help. Light switches were even dirty
Location: Walgreens was near to purchase disinfectant.
I would never stay in this hotel again. The pictures on the website do not reflect the poor condition of this property. We like to stay in historical places but this property is not taken care of.
