Nice charming older hotel with clean rooms and pleasant staff. Jada in front desk is super nice and helpful. Location can’t be beat, right in the middle of downtown. Parking is across the street and $36 is very reasonable given the hotel location. Evening wine tasting is a nice touch.

Great stay. Older hotel with some modern updates. That being said, I don't expect everything to be "perfect" from older establishments, so nothing was disappointing as far as I'm concerned. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.

We liked the rooftop wine welcome with live music, the interesting interior and the large size of our room, that the kitchenette was well equipped and the location of this hotel. Front desk staff was fabulous. 4 stars because the floors in our room weren't clean and the couch needs to be cleaned or replaced.

This may have been the best hotel stay I have ever had. The hotel itself is in a great location, is well decorated and very comfortable. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I was so surprised to be provided with a lovely bottle of wine when we checked in. We were also present on a night when there was live music on the rooftop with more wine. I am definitely coming back!
