Nice hotel a couple block from center of town. Staff were nice and dining room for breakfast was nice to avoid morning chill. Room was super clean but pretty small (family suite) for 4 adults. No A/C and only a space heater but worked well.

Highly recommended. The location is excellent, and the hotel has beautiful old-style character while being very clean, quiet, and safe. The breakfast is well presented and enjoyable (dine-in only); I was only able to try it once due to an early checkout, but I wish I could have had it again. Overall, a lovely hotel with friendly service.

Excellent stay. Good service and helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Beautiful building and comfortable (but dark) rooms. The fact that breakfast was NOT included for all family members was not clear in the booking process or on arrival. This was the only negative point but otherwise it was an excellent stay.
