    The rooms are quaint, I love the architecture of the hotel! We met the owner, very friendly, knowledgeable and kind man! The location is downtown, close to things but a bit sketchy when dark. I have to say we were within walking distance of alot...

    Breakfast was great! Room was lovely. I thought the location was poor, however, I was unfamiliar with the City so had no idea where hotel was located before arriving. That said, perfectly adequate for 1 night.
