Quaint B&B in the middle of the city. Clean rooms and good amenities. Walkable to bus and trolley stops. The staff are very nice. They serve simple breakfast daily and also have an evening wine hour. One negative is that it's an old building so comes with the sounds and smells. Also proximity to the main road means you'll hear a lot of sounds from the road.

This is an old beautiful hotel. You do go down a set of stairs to the breakfast area.Quite a variety of buffet foods. Lots of tables to sit at and separate rooms with fireplaces. Nice ambiance. They do have a patio attached which must be lovely to have breakfast on in the warmer weather. Overall quite nice.
