Property is clean and convenient to walk to restaurants and shops. Do not expect your room a minute before the 4:00 check in. The hotel is very nice and updated. The room was nice but hard to sleep due to noisy (rattled all night) air conditioner. Also, the smoke detector has an obnoxious flashing light all night long. If you like total darkness to sleep you are in trouble as the flashing light lights up the room.

There is not hotel parking at all! Your options are across the street at the very busy ice cream shop, or, across the other street at the church parking lot. Neither are that far. However, if you have any bags, either parking lot are not that close or convenient! The front desk staff does not know the rules of the city as far as parking- even though they tell you to park at the places already mentioned. For a high priced hotel, it was a surprising disappointment.

It was a lovely hotel; however, I was put off that the 2nd night was a lot more expensive. Check-out personnel was very friendly...and cafe person too.

The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful! The building/room itself was showing signs of wear and had some bad design decisions: impractical bathroom sink, concrete ceiling that amplified sound, noisy AC unit, the usual leaky glass shower door. It's a lovely property and great location, I hope the owners will keep these things in mind for the next renovation
