Comfortable stay for a reasonable price

Comfortable bed in generously-proportioned suite of lovely old hotel with helpful staff. Minor imperfections consistent with building's age. On-site parking or the street is fine if you miss out on a bay. Quiet location. EV charger nearby.

Nice Hotel, Great customer service

I have stayed at this Hotel several times always great. We had a bit of noise on our first night and they moved us to a quieter place in the Hotel, with no fuss at all. The Staff could not have been more accommodating, absolutely excellent customer service. I highly recommend staying here.
