We have stayed here several times and really appreciate the ambiance , the staff, and location. Our only quibble might be that the morning breakfast offerings (think coffee) are mediocre, so we prefer to skip it and instead patronize one of the great local coffee shops within 2 or three blocks. But that is the norm for hotel offerings everywhere, so not entirely a fair criticism. This is a great cheerful and peaceful place to stay

I felt a bit cold in this room. Though your staff gave me a blanket, it should be better to turn up the temperature of central heating system.

Staff at this hotel is competent and friendly. The lobby fireplace is inviting. I suggest that bottled water be provided as the water from the faucet was very cloudy. Hotel is quiet however, throughout the night I heard water running from other rooms. Hotel is quaint with original wood and tile and seems maintained. Bathroom was clean. Hotel room could use some dusting and clean dust from corners of carpet in the room.
