Great location, friendly staff, comfortable overnight stay in the heart of downtown. Continental breakfast had a good selection of snack items (granola bars, fruit, muffins, croissants, etc) and beverages. It’s unique with the history of the building, which I appreciated and enjoyed looking at the archival photos, but not for guests who want a modern room.

Staff member Ethan Kirby was great with assisting us. Room was okay but surely was not of Boutique Hotel standards.Renovations are needed. This hotel is in a very good location for visiting spots. I must say breakfast is poor. Yogurt, muffin, apples, bananas, and coffee is not even what we would consider a continental breakfast. This hotel desperately needs updating.
