This boutique hotel has quickly become a favorite "go-to" of mine to stay in when I need a room. It is a great location for me and offers a variety of quaint and period appropriate style rooms. The staff has always been kind and helpful and getting around the area is very easy.

Very good hotel. I will stay there again. A small, inn-like three star boutique hotel. The small staff are professional and very courteous. It is a family owned hotel and they treat you like a guest. There is a nice wine bar and restaurant on the premises. Our room was clean and comfortable. Conveniently located for me. TV and wifi were appreciated.
Nice hotel with a great location. Staff was very helpful.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Spotless room, friendly caring staff, great location. The lemon water, coffee and muffins in the lobby was a nice, unexpected touch.
This is a beautiful and historical hotel. Right now there is a lot of construction around the hotel and limited parking affiliated with the hotel. When we showed up, the adjacent parking lot was out of tickets, so we had to find a different lot and it was late. We were tired and the front desk employee gave us a little attitude about the parking.
Room was okay. Very dated. No safe and no small refrigerator. The sheets were clean but older and somewhat discolored. Bathroom was good and room temperature was comfortable.
The coffee and muffins in the lobby was a nice touch. There was a lot of construction in the general area of hotel at this time.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The front desk staff just sit and watch customers struggle to get through the door with their luggage. Nobody offered to hold the door open or help with luggage during either of our two stays. As a mother with two kids, it was irritating and disappointing.
