Quaint, updated hotel with spacious rooms. Limited breakfast options (but at least they offer it!); and a nice little bar/appetizer kitchen in the hotel. Friendly staff. Centrally located downtown close to restaurants, shops, etc. Easy access and parking in the back.

This is a hotel I stayed at as a little girl, and I love that it is open and operating. It's right on Water St., in the middle of town, so you just can't get more convenient - also right across the st from the fabulous Impact Coffee. I have stayed here so many times, I've lost track, and I heartily recommend it.
