Nice hotel in a nice location. We loved walking arounf the neighborhood. There were historic homes in the area. It was an unexpected plus. The hotel was in a good location, we were able to walk to local attractions easily. Hotel staff was awesome, and very helpful. There was onsite free parking and breakfast buffet. The only negative was the thin walls. We could hear conversations in the hall.

The property was so lovely and you can tell the owners have put a lot of time into making it modern without being stark or cold. The weekday happy hour was a wonderful way to relax and enjoy some local beer or wine. The breakfasts were delicious, fresh and filling. The property is clean, quiet and conveniently located. I would most definitely visit this gem of a hotel again.
Happy hour in the lobby was a lovely way to try local beer/wines.

Tired hotel. Very poor lighting in room. TV didn’t work at first. Staff quickly addressed it. However shower water goes from cold to very hot thru out. Staff said there was no issue. Happened all three days we were there. Consider other locations instead.

Very small washroom with no space to put anything, not even a shelf to put toiletry bags. The washroom door was very squeaky sounding when being opened and closed. The room was extremely small and the bed frames made so much noise when getting on and off. Hotel although in a great location and in good walking distance to most things, could really use some updating. Would most likely not stay at this hotel again.
