Perfect Getaway

We booked the St Croix Suite to celebrate a milestone birthday with mom/adult daughter. The room was lovely with a seating area and fireplace, so we settled in before walking to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was dark, but we felt safe. A good hill climb, and more time relaxing. We didn't use the hot tub, but it is big enough for two. The bed was a King, and very comfortable. You do not feel movement of the other person, and we slept great. I would definitely book here again!! Also breakfast at the Lowell inn, just down the hill was delicious. We both ordered the eggs benedict and were not disappointed.

Front door has no lock-broken. No shower in room-hand held in whirlpool tub. Old sheets and pilllow cases. Worn out bench seat. No housekeeping. Lighting in stairways is minimal. Noisy room. Drafty window air conditioner on sides of window.

We had a wonderful visit to the Aurora Staples. It was just a little away from the main area, so it was quiet and convenient. Very Charming. We stayed in the Riverview room which had a small porch and a hanging swing. Very nicely decorated. Touchless entry was convenient and flexible.

Contactless entry was easy with passcode. Only available beverages were a kureg coffee maker and bottled water in fridge. Did get voucher for breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Recommend for those who like victorian style B&Bs. Lovely old furniture and decor. Bed was king and very comfortable.

The property is quaint and rustic. Very close to downtown and very walkable to all things. If you are coming from out of town and Uber-ed from the airport as we did, there are little options to assist with luggage. They did ultimately let us check in early which was helpful. However, if you assume you can drop your bags prior to check in, that is not an option. It states BnB but the breakfast is at another hotel a few blocks away and you have to make reservations 24 hours in advance. Also, the check in check out is all done on your own. Feels more like a shared air bnb than a BnB. Nothing wrong with this but it’s not as transparent online.

Quiet and comfortable

Super comfortable room. Beautiful house. Everyone was quiet the night I stayed there. Walking distance to the central district. The sun room off the Riverside Suite has a nice table for work and the territorial view is quite pleasant. Would stay there again.
