It was quaint and quirky. Room was very comfortable and clean and was serviced every day. They don’t offer much in house (indeed most of the time the desk wasn’t staffed, but that didn’t matter). But proximity downtown and to the station was excellent.

Everyone was friendly, check in and out was great. Only gripe I could come up with would be that I wish parking were closer and not around the block and 6 floors up but downtown parking is what is is in every town ☺. I really like this hotel, the design, the history, the bathrooms are great and rooms are very pleasing, large. Would recommend for sure.
