Everything was wonderful except that I am a cold sleeper and would have liked an extra blanket. Next time I will ask for one. I was too tired to go back out to the front desk….

Our stay was generally good. Our room was on the third floor and we had to climb steep stairways that took a circuitous route to our room, since the hotel has no elevator. It was certainly somewhat challenging, since we are older. The hotel has off street parking, included in the price, but if the small lot next to the hotel is full, you have to park a short block away, which we did. It is an old hotel and has a bit of charm, and it is in a good location. However, I did get scalded while taking a shower when, all of a sudden, the water temperature changed. Luckily, I wasn't seriously burned, but they should put temperature controllers on the plumbing. I would stay there again, but ask for a lower room. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The room was clean, as was the shared bathroom. Breakfast was good with many options, including gluten free ones. The hotel was a little old, as expected, but it was also charming. I felt the price was fair. My room was on top floor, with very steep and narrow stairs all the way up. It was noted there wasn’t an elevator. While I did fine with my 2 heavy bags carried up 1 at a time, I could see it being a struggle for someone who wasn’t in as good of shape. The inn did offer assistance, however.

Staff was so sweet and friendly, and the hotel ambiance is great: lots of personality, not sterile like the big chains in the center of town. Nice and quiet. Location is a little removed, but that there is free parking is super helpful. Coffee available all day is very appreciated.

Staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean. Little bit of a walk to get downtown, however there is a city bus stop close by. Be aware that this is an old building and every floor has a communal bathroom but there are private bathrooms that come with some rooms.

Pleasantly surprised at this little hotel. We had free parking, breakfast and no charge for dogs. They also stored our bikes for free in the basement. The staff was so friendly and the room was dated and old but CLEAN. There is no elevator which was fine for us but may be important to other guests. The only thing I would say was negative was the bed wasn’t as comfortable as it could’ve been but also the stay was extremely reasonable and the rest was truly a pleasant surprise. I’d stay again!!

The staff was friendly. We were on the third floor which was quite the hike up some steep stairs. However, I feel like it was fairly consistent for the age of the building. We stayed in one of the rooms with a shared bathroom since we were only staying for the night. The room itself did have a sink which was convenient for getting ready. The room was comfortable and overall pretty quiet throughout our stay.
