We really enjoyed this hotel, we were only here 1 night as we're riding through. I booked this last minute (within 1 day) on Expedia and we chose this because we knew it was walkable to a bar/restaurant and rather than a chain hotel, this had some history/old style architecture we enjoy. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The building is old, that's why we're there. It's got charm, history, character; if you want fancy new everything, don't stay here. I did not smell any musty scent as previous reviews stated, but I'm used to older buildings. It was very clean, and the small little touches in the room like a gift bag w/ water/snacks, printed history of the building (the door hangers were the BEST) were the extras making it unique. I also love that they provide additions like a black face towel for makeup and disposable makeup wipes! The location itself has several lovely places you can sit outside, and inside has been decorated in the old style with memorabilia of it's history. Breakfast was what I would consider standard for a nicer hotel but good with lots of options. The only thing I didn't like was the check in which is all digital, we're on a bike it was hard and there was no info on whether if we didn't check in that way we'd have an issue at arrival, which we would NOT have had someone mans the front all the time, but we didn't know that, BUT having codes for entry to everything was very nice as we were arriving late. We would def stay here again!!!
