The room was ok. It's an older building in the center of the city. It is a little dated but had all the things you expect on a hotel. We had a pretty good breakfast. The staff seemed polite. Our stay was good.

Clean room and the stFf was super awesome. What impressed me the most is that it was a snow day and the staff worked tirelessly to keep the parking lot and walkways clear of snow.

This is a historic establishment with all the character expected. It has all the amenities of a newer build, and is quite adequate. The restaurant serves a complimentary breakfast with the room rental and it was delicious.
