Great stay. Very reasonable price for a large but cosy attic room, complete with a fireplace, and a jetted bathtub. Breakfast was included but was pretty basic for the quality of the hotel, but everything else was great!

Overall good stay. Bed was uncomfortable. I feel like some hotels when booked through Expedia don’t always give the best room.

Lovely location and atmosphere
Lovely building, quiet, and comfy bed. Staff was friendly and courteous. Towels, bedding and overall room were clean but there were visible water streaks and handprints on bathroom walks. Just felt a little neglected. Room could also use some optional brighter lighting. Enjoyed the location - was able to walk the area and find nice shops and restaurants. Would stay here again and do more exploring by foot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
This hotel has history and character. The room I had was big and comfortable. However there is virtually no sound insulation so bring your ear plugs if you do not want to hear guest in other rooms. The breakfast is grab and go (muffins, whole fruits, cereal bars and Keurig coffee). If you want a regular breakfast, there are options closeby. The hotel is otherwise well located and parking is easy and free.
