I will book again

Historical building, small but clean room. Best water pressure I have ever experienced for a hotel stay, I will go back for it 100%. Very convenient location. Bed and Pillow have opportunity to improve.

Breakfast was not very good. Shower curtains don't hold in water. We always had to dry the floor after. Fortunately, there are drains in the floor. Square is a little noisy.

I highly recommend this hotel. I’ve been looking for a hotel that is safe with easy walkable distance to restaurants when I travel through on work. Highly recommend staying here. There are so many restaurants to choose from in the area that are walkable. And beds were comfortable and the hotel was very clean. The staff was also amazing and they had a good variety of food that was well stocked for their breakfast.

Not awful, but I would not return

This is a historic hotel that could be so much better than it is, with only a minimal amount of effort. Rooms and interior spaces are dated and stuffy. Window could not be propped open, no screens in place, either. Complimentary breakfast was worthless, and not worth sticking around for. Zero care went in to limiting the use of plastics or single use utensils, etc. On a positive note, front desk staff was very kind and professional, both at check-in and check out. Location and free parking in front also good.

The location we thought was nice, but there were homeless people and other people in the downtown plaza all night, arguing and being very loud. Did not sleep much at all. The room was very nice, and the place was clean. The TV in the room did not work, and after informing the Hotel, they had no one to fix it and offered no discount or solutions.

So happy we could bring our kitten!

Built in 1915 and historic! Very neat place to stay with a restaurant/bar in the lobby. I like the touch of using a real key for your room. Weather was perfect in July and so much to do in the plaza!
