Friendly staff, quirky historic hotel in the middle of the historic walking district convenient to food and shops, with limited parking in the back and a deck across the street in the back. Small tvs, no shower doors, and no microwave in room. Breakfast is included with most reservations and continental. Comfortable. Safe. Full of historic charm.
