This was a rare find, that I must have walked by a million times, but found with Expedia. Stepped back in time to a hotel that makes you feel there is no need to be rushed, on your phone or have to hunt down staff. Gorgeous owners/staff, gorgeous hotel, easy parking, high end toiletries, and a beautiful courtyard if you need to have a place to rent for a gathering

The staff were very friendly and courteous. We arrived rather late at night and did not call to give them a heads up. They were apologetic for giving us a smaller room than normal but it was our fault and not theirs.They make you feel at home. It is a nice hotel

Unexpectedly small room

It is a family run hotel. It is dated and the room is exceptionally small. There is literally no space to move, just atand. There's also no space to keep your bags. The fake knobs on the doors kept falling off. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable owners were friendly and nice area. It is a good hotel for a 1 night stay, just that be aware the 2 person room with a single bed is extremely small.
