Upsides: this is a very charming small hotel. Similar to a bed and by, in a great location. Large comfortable rooms. The downsides: a little noisy, we could hear other guests through the walls. We had a hard timer getting hot water. Especially in The shower.

The place is very nice, we had a bad experience with breakfast, after ordering the only choice and obtaining a number we didn’t realise the order was forgotten, we waited patiently and finally asked about the status. The server said she just forgot and said she would be get on it right away. This put us behind schedule for the day.

The Inn is so cute and the rooms very clean but beware, I booked a room with a fireplace option and the fireplace did not work. So call before you book if you want a room with a working fireplace. The staff was excellent and the breakfast in the morning was great.

Everything an inn should be...welcoming staff person, well-appointed rooms, comfy sitting area with fireplace, delicious and unusual breakfast menu. Plus it's walking distance to great restaurants and lovely shops. I will be staying here again, I'm sure.

This was a cute hotel, clean, nice staff, great breakfast, but zero amenities. For a "4 star" hotel, I would expect a little more. The rooms were charming, but not comfortable. No where to set your phone at night, no robes in the rooms, not even a decent mirror in the bathroom. 4 stars
