Love this hotel! Very comfortable & clean. I was graciously upgraded to a suite for my stay and the room was amazing. This may not be the place for children but for a cozy, restful stay in a place with historic charm, it’s top notch and my absolute favorite stop.

The room was clean. All the outlets worked and the shower is nice. There are several nice restaurants in a walkable distance. I'd suggest letting the staff know if you will be arriving past 5pm. Check in and check out was very simple. I did not get to sample the breakfast as I was out before it even started.

A very nice, well-maintained historic hotel. You’re not going to get all of the spaciousness and amenities associated with a new-built franchised hotel, but that’s not why you’re staying here.

Clean, cozy, comfortable

We loved our stay William Watson. The building is steeped in history and our room was very cozy with exposed brick walls and antique furniture. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but please be aware that there is no elevator. We were on the third floor and had to haul our suitcases up the very narrow staircase. It was not a problem for us but certainly could be for some.

We loved our stay here. An 1838 building tastefully renovated. Comfortable bed, nice shower. Keys are at the desk for you when you check in - very casual - but we were fine with it. Hold by a nice family. We didn’t see staff very much, but they were just a phone call away. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

A Hidden Gem

This is the most quaint and precious little boutique hotel. It is located right on the square. My room had a perfect view of the local city hall. Both the lobby and my room were decorated with original time-oriented pieces. I absolutely LOVED this place and will definitely stay here again!!
