It's in a great location. The breakfast is very limited however, and the hotel could use some cosmetic upgrades. It's a decent place in a decent location at a pretty reasonable price point.

It's a pretty Victorian boutique hotel. The room was very small, the bathroom was tiny . My husband says their coffee was good. We didn't stay for breakfast since we want to be on the road early. They serve breakfast at 8AM. Bagels, fruits, coffee is what they were going to serve. The staff were nice & pleasant. The place was clean.
