A quaint hotel which takes you back to a time when life was a lot simpler, It has the feel of a 1950's decor. Very clean and a little worn and dated. I will stay here next summer when I return.

Very nice hotel, found out it was built in 1903. It was updated as needed, but still kept the charm of an old hotel. Room was clean, bed was comfortable and the staff was great. Can't wait to stay there again.
