Cozy and unique experience

A unique stay, love the elevator and stairs, the room was cozy and clean. Never seen a hotel like this, felt like I entered a time machine. No complimentary breakfast, I was looking for something small. But complimentary coffee at least and the restaurant looked charming, next time I'll try it. PS that shower curtain is a little terrifying haha

Such a fun place with great food—we ate dinner and breakfast. Also wonderful gift shop! We hung out in the secret room and perused all the books! Service was outstanding. Construction outside started at 8 am sharp. It’s necessary so can’t really complain just be prepared. Bathroom (toilet and sink)was small but shower area was good size and water pressure great.
