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.

Loved this Hotel. Nice location near Target and Bus1. Cute decor. Maid service daily. Breakfast made up per your menu selections. Filtered water (hot,cold) available. Very nice staff. Only one downside, it is across the street from the fire station so you can hear the sirens if they are called in the night. One night- two times, another night- one time, next three nights -none.
