We had a wonderful stay! The room was big, clean, and incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the wee kitchenette! We also came in completely exhausted so it was a real boon to have a restaurant on the ground floor.

It's a beautiful historic building with original trim and decor. I was ready to take a HOT shower but the running water after 2 min was lukewarm too cool to shower in. Finally at the 4 minute mark the water was HOT! I enjoyed a great shower I just needed to be patient! Great staff, very clean, historic and interesting, and slower time to getting Hot water but all in all I would recommend!!
