I was pleasantly surprised with my room, the beautiful bathroom. It was a lovely, very comfortable stay. A convenient walk to Jefferson outpatient center, was easy and safe. Then I returned for continental breakfast which was more than adequate. I loved the vegan cranberry cookie. The staff were super friendly and pleasant. This was a gem to be able to stay here, thank you, I hope to stay here again in the future.

The complementary breakfast is lavish. It doesn't seem to have any parking. It's beautiful and charming, but because it was built in 1787, the floors are uneven in places, and it has no elevator so it's not a good hotel for old people.
