We have stayed here several times and really appreciate the ambiance , the staff, and location. Our only quibble might be that the morning breakfast offerings (think coffee) are mediocre, so we prefer to skip it and instead patronize one of the great local coffee shops within 2 or three blocks. But that is the norm for hotel offerings everywhere, so not entirely a fair criticism. This is a great cheerful and peaceful place to stay
