A lot of character (high ceilings, solid wood) and the owners have clearly put in a lot of care and nice touches (like two lights in the bathroom--one full bright and a dim one for when it's 3:00 am and you don't want to jolt yourself awake!).

Great stay. Easy online check-in. No door key is nice. Easy parking close by. Great location. Very clean except the floor in the main bedroom needed cleaning. No coffee or tea in room is a little bit of a bummer. However, we would definitely stay again.

Online check in is helpful, as was keyless entry. The staff was very nice and helpful. The building itself is beautiful as were the rooms and the shared spaces. Be aware that there is a decent flight of stairs that you must climb to get to the rooms. Overall a great stay at a reasonable price. Definitely would return
