Would definitely stay again! Thank you!

Super friendly! Let us borrow chairs for a festival. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It’s an older building and the air conditioner struggled a bit to keep up. The continental breakfast and Happy hour drink was the perfect touch. Definitely recommend!

Local find!

Really enjoyed an alternative to a hotel chain stay. Walking up a flight of stairs was not an issue. There wasn't quite enough table seating for everyone at breakfast but others sat on sofas with a coffee table. The hosts managed our unexpected late arrival due to weather and emailed my receipt due to my very early departure. Comfortable room and bath and very reasonable price!

Staying at this SMALL quality historic hotel was far more enjoyable than staying at a modern chain hotel. Breakfasts and evening social hours were shared with super-friendly staff and a small group of others staying at the hotel. Staff and other guests gave great information about museums, events, restaurants, etc. A streaming stick could be used with the TV, ours was a Roku TV. Short walk to downtown restaurants, shops, museums, markets, and events. Room had a refrigerator and fast charging (2A) USB ports. I believe the hotel is owner operated, which is a plus.
