Loved the quiet, very homey feel of this property. The breakfast was always impeccably prepared. Check in was flawless and truly very welcoming with Jack opening the door as we got out of our Uber. While the rooms were kept to take the guests back in time, everything is updated in the bathrooms including Toto Japanese style bidet. Had a wonderful time.

Love the vintage decor and style of the historic building. The made-to-order breakfast was phenomenal and tasty! They always had tea, coffee, and great snack options available at all hours. Not too many things to do in a walkable distance but we found it easy to walk to the Target nearby and a neighborhood bar.
