The staff was very nice, but the desk is not staffed and we had to go into the bar to find someone to check us in and answer questions. As someone else said, it's really a bar that rents rooms. We were directly above the bar and heard music through the floor until very late. Parking is insufficient and we ended up with a street-parking ticket.

Great location. Old school hotel.

The location was great but unfortunately the parking is inconvenient. There is a 2 hour time limit so I kept having to move my car. The room was very nice but no real amenities. Also I didn’t expect a 3 story walk up and no elevator. All in all the rooms are clean and right in the center of town making shopping and walking easy.

Stayed 2 nights for work, but wish I could have stayed more. Hotel, room, and staff were great, tavern food was excellent with a huge beer selection, and surrounding area was interesting and fun, with lots of dining and shopping options. I will definitely be booking a room here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very charming historic inn. Staff was nice and helpful upon check-in, and when i accidentally locked my key in the room. I booked the Bouvier room on the 3rd floor which was quiet and comfortable. Being a historic inn, I went in with the expectation that it would be low frills, which is was. But for the price, I think it's a great option for anyone staying in the Newtown area who wants historic charm and to be in the walkable State Street area.
