Perfectly located in the heart of shopping, dining, and all downtown… even the Wednesday Farmer’s Market! Room was cozy, spacious and many special touches. The no staffed lobby code entry, Honor system, and overall uniqueness made this a great stay! Across the street is a great coffee shop open later than others and endless bakery options close by. Highly recommend !

Staff is great. Lauren helped me through the process. Location of hotel is A+. This hotel is for seasoned traverlers who want a great place to stay. No pool spa etc. Room balcony looked over the park and the Irish Pub was right underneath my room. Fun.
