This is an older property with lots of character. Located near the downtown area, there are lots of dining choices within walking distance. There could be some work done in the interior to make it more appealing but the room was clean, comfortable and, even though we faced the main street, quiet. Breakfast was quite nice with a very good selection. Staff was very friendly.

Although we were shocked by the poor physical condition of our room (windows that were painted shut, yucky feeling carpet, and extremely low water pressure), the staff did comply with our request for a room on the top floor, which was large, private, and very quiet. Breakfast was excellent.
