The classic, historical Hotel Winnesheck is always a delight to stay at. Great location in the heart of what action there may be. Chain hotels are boring by comparison.

Quaint, updated hotel with spacious rooms. Limited breakfast options (but at least they offer it!); and a nice little bar/appetizer kitchen in the hotel. Friendly staff. Centrally located downtown close to restaurants, shops, etc. Easy access and parking in the back.
