Pet friendly, clean rooms (small), but we had a courtyard room that helped. The food was good in the dinning room, but the service is absolutely the worst.

Very friendly staff, clean rooms, and well lit parking. The staff even gave my husband a tour of the basement! I love the fireplace to relax and warm up. Doggie potty area was clean and good walking space. The only decent restaurant in town is in the hotel, which was a huge plus. The brussel sprouts was so tasty!
I expected a small plate of Brussel sprouts. This would have been a perfect meal on its own!

Wanted to like this place more, and the history is definitely interesting, but could use upgrades. First room I got had a leak and second room the fridge didn’t work. Someone had stuffed tissue paper between the lock and the door cause otherwise it’s basically a peep hole into the room. Got a $10 credit for food and drink when I reserved online but then turns out they would only honor the drink. Breakers was good and the building is pretty, just fell short on value for me.

Check-in was so easy and the staff was very friendly and even offered the best chocolate chip cookies. Room was overlooking courtyard for a pretty night view. Very clean, quiet and provided everything we needed. It was an extremely cold day so no sitting outside. Loved the laid back feel of this beautiful historic hotel. Hopefully we can visit again on a warmer day.
