the property reminded us of a bed and breakfast!! We were wondering how clean it would be because it allows dogs (which was why we stayed there with our lab) and there was no smell of dogs and it was kept very clean! We would stay again, even without our dog! The staff was nice and helpful too!! One suggestion from my husband to put in a waffle maker in the breakfast area, but overall the breakfast bar had everything And was fresh and yummy!

Very adequate, vintage feel hotel. Room was spacious, like you were staying in Aunt Rose's spare room upstairs in a huge Victorian. Staff was very friendly, bed was clean and comfortable. Only downside was how low the toilet was and the very narrow staircase and 43 stairs it took to get to the third floor. But I would stay there again for the value!
