I am conflicted on how to review the hotel, because the location was great and the staff was friendly. However there was a mouse in our room, and we left a small electronic device by accident and knew exactly where we left it, but it was taken by someone at the hotel.

No complaints, this property met my expectations. Room was clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was more than enough to start the day. I left the property feeling that it was an opportunity missed. It is an lovely Victorian house, which if it had been dressed according to the period it was built would have been fabulous

Paul at the reception was so hospitable. We arrived early morning to drop off our luggage as check-in was not due till 3 p.m. He invited us to have breakfast at their parlor & to rest if we wished. Staff at the inn were polite & helpful. Location very good.

The location is great and our room was clean but it was very hot in our room and no way to control the temperature other than opening the window which we didnt want to do all night. The staff are friendly and the breakfast was okay.

Almost everything was good at this inn. It was clean, they left fruit in the room, the breakfast was good, the staff was helpful, the location was great, and the inn was the most reasonably priced for the idea. Also, despite being across the street from a hospital, it was quiet. My only complaint—unfortunately a significant one—was that the mattresses were quite hard. Hopefully this varies by room and isn’t the case throughout the inn. One tip—parking is not available at the inn for every guest, so book that in advance. Since the inn is near a university, we were navigating jammed one-way streets filled with students getting out of class at 4:00 on a Friday, and it took forever to find a spot.

Very old, worn out place; needs a good cleaning and maintenance! The bathroom sink would barely drain; I looked out to an old fence and garbage; air conditioner was very noisy, fan was loose and noisey, mattress was awfully old and lumpy, breakfast just cereal, toast, muffins, I could go on. Only thing good was the location.
