We absolutely loved this hotel! Tasteful decor, comfortable bed, lovely "old hotel" ambience throughout. Friendly and welcoming staff, nice coffee and pastries in the library and located right along the fun and interesting downtown. There is a free parking lot just around the corner. We'd love to come back and will stay here again!
