Amazing hotel. Staff was very helpful with an issue we had. It was taken care of the next day. The rooms are very well and thoughtfully renovated to the old charm of the building. With modern amenities. If you have a chance don’t miss a stay here.

Our room and bed were very comfortable. Rose and our other housekeeping lady (sorry that I didn't get her name )were very attentive. It's a lovely place and so nice to be in the center of the pretty downtown. We hope to make an autumn trip.
