Staff was super Amazing!! Hotel is historic so things are not updated... but beds were comfortable, water was hot enough for shower. Things were creeky and dated -part of the charm. Traffic on the main street is definitely noticeable. Little easy continental breakfast. Location was Amazing ... lots of little shops. For being an antique hotel.. things were decently clean. Second story pool was cool with nice patio seating.
