Very convenient area the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very clean and I enjoyed the breakfast very much l loved that it had so much history and it was an actual jail, and you will see remnants of the original jailhouse. Would definitely stay again.
Honestly a great stay and very clean. Only thing that could be better is the air conditioning. The rooms have small built in units that barely work, which resulted in our room staying in the mid 70s at all times. After showers, the room would jump up into the 80s. Not a huge deal, or a dealbreaker as the stay was still excellent.
It was a fun and unique place to stay and they offered an excellent breakfast! The staff was incredibly helpful in planning my ferry excursion to Martha's Vineyard, too!
Amazing property with a fun history! Walkable to historical places, shopping, and food. Easy drive to tour the mansions. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Definitely will be coming back.
