It is a charming older hotel with a great location on the square, especially if you’re spending more than one night and like to walk around the area and even eat at local restaurants. Their complimentary “self serve” Continental Breakfast was good and interesting as far as selections and there is a full restaurant/bar in the first floor area for later as well. Our room was clean, pleasant and comfortable with a couch, kitchenette and desk area that were not all jammed together. On the down side, our bathroom door didn’t close tightly for privacy, our mattress was lumpy and no one told us that our room wouldn’t be tided up and we wouldn’t get clean towels each day. We did ask for clean towels and they were delivered promptly. While our “down sides” are true and valid we would stay there again.

2nd Stay - Still impressed!

Our 1st stay was in May 2021 for our wedding night, and we were excited to be back for a friend's wedding to stay again. The rooms are great and clean. The beds are incredibly comfortable. And the staff are very hospitable & respectful. Love it all and will happily come back in the future!
