Wonderful and unique boutique!

Wonderful and unique boutique! Historic house turned into a very classy and quiet hotel. Just a block or two from the action. We had a cool loft room with a big bed for my wife and I and a loft bed for our son. Service and staff were friendly and accommodating. (The photo is the view from our room ❤️)
