Quaint hotel with a lot of character. The 24/7 hotel was great, professional and friendly. The free continental breakfast was very good, and it's worthwhile.to stay just for the antique elevator. That said, rooms are very old and I had to leave the window open to get rid of the dusty smell. This did not bother me at all.

Lovely but felt more like a bed&breakfast than a hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good, including eggs and sausages. Is not wheelchair friendly, otherwise is a cozy place located not too far from the main downtown shopping areas.

This is a convenient location, and relatively quiet. It is a good place for a budget visitor. For business people, this facility is a bit old.

Quaint old hotel with elegance of yesteryear. Pretty French country touches with little paintings/murals in the rooms. Very comfortable room. Good location. We loved it and would stay again. They treated us nicely and upgraded us to a junior suite. An improvement they could do is make the breakfast a little more French/elegant. But overall it had good quality basics to start the day. We enjoyed this hotel.

Your hotel scared the heck out of us. Even once we were given a different room we considered leaving. It was only one night and an early flight so we suffered through. Breakfast was underwhelming but I did appreciate the cup of coffee. The staff member attending the breakfast station was attentive.
