The positives: I loved the personal feel of this quaint little spot. The breakfast is delicious and included. The staff is friendly. Our issues were these: they charged us an extra $80 (!) per night because we had our two teens with us. I didn't even realize that when we made the reservation it was made for 2 people, but it was definitely made for 2 queen beds, obviously a room for 4 people. They told us they would charge us $40 extra per night and I was hesitant but said OK, then saw it was $40 per child, per night. We didn't see this until we got home and had the invoice emailed to us. Our heater didn't work and temps dropped to 30's overnight so we were pretty cold. We told them twice when we got there and they weren't able to fix it until the morning we left. Personally, they should have comped us the $80 fee for the fact that we were cold all night without a heater. The parking is a bit messy as they are doing construction on the building next door (to expand!)

Lovely Little Gem

This is the most charming gem of a hotel. The parking is easy. The rooms are reminiscent of a pretty boutique in Paris. Lovely grounds with complimentary wine and charcuterie. Excellent breakfast with room. The staff was exceptional. The place is spotless in a great walking location to downtown shopping & restaurants.
