Pleasant, quaint hotel

Stayed only the one night on business - check in staff were very pleasant and got me in to my room quickly. Rooms were small but comfortable (though suggestion for management - might be nice to turn the heat up in the room an hour or two before a guest's arrival - was very cold in the room when I arrived and took a while to heat up) and great water pressure in the shower (something lacking in other hotels I've stayed in). Breakfast in the morning made fresh to order (bacon and sausage from a local butcher). Thanks for a nice stay!
