A wonderful gem tucked into a vibrant community. We stayed for a night to enjoy the city after work. We had a terrific pizza with an eggplant appetizer at a place 6 blocks away. The snacks in the dining room were a delightful treat. We enjoyed reading in the study. The bed was very comfortable. This place is a must stay again.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted and treated as family. Made-to-order breakfasts were delicious. Treats were available in the dining room 24/7 and were wonderful. We were disappointed that there was no brewed decaf available. On our third morning, the manager brought in a coffee maker to provide us with brewed decaf coffee. Our room was small, but well-appointed. We did have issues with the temperature. With no air conditioning, the room got quite stuffy. Opening the window helped, but since we were on the ground floor, we didn't feel comfortable leaving the window open as we slept with all the traffic right outside. All in all, it was an enjoyable stay, but over $1200 for four nights still feels excessive.

Loved the quiet, very homey feel of this property. The breakfast was always impeccably prepared. Check in was flawless and truly very welcoming with Jack opening the door as we got out of our Uber. While the rooms were kept to take the guests back in time, everything is updated in the bathrooms including Toto Japanese style bidet. Had a wonderful time.

Love the vintage decor and style of the historic building. The made-to-order breakfast was phenomenal and tasty! They always had tea, coffee, and great snack options available at all hours. Not too many things to do in a walkable distance but we found it easy to walk to the Target nearby and a neighborhood bar.

Cute quaint place with old charm. Some of the random technology throughout the room, I did find odd like the Alexa home that has a camera on the nightstand, the motion detector sensor on the wall, the keyless pinpad lock for the door, and the mirror in the bathroom with the digital camera displayed, it just didn’t feel like it fit in with the rest of the place and seems a little weird to me. Not necessarily bad though. I was told when I checked in that I could request breakfast to my door as early as 7, even though the paper said 7:30. I got it around 7:20 which was disappointing because I was in a rush for work.
