Summary: The entire place was great! The staff in the hotel and restaurant were fantastic! Highly recommend this place. Beautifully renovated.
Lucia Sep 15, 2025 08:46:27 AM
Summary: It is a charming older hotel with a great location on the square, especially if you’re spending more than one night and like to walk around the area and even eat at local restaurants. Their complimentary “self serve” Continental Breakfast was good and interesting as far as selections and there is a full restaurant/bar in the first floor area for later as well. Our room was clean, pleasant and comfortable with a couch, kitchenette and desk area that were not all jammed together. On the down side, our bathroom door didn’t close tightly for privacy, our mattress was lumpy and no one told us that our room wouldn’t be tided up and we wouldn’t get clean towels each day. We did ask for clean towels and they were delivered promptly. While our “down sides” are true and valid we would stay there again.
Christina Sep 1, 2025 03:20:15 AM
Summary: We had a great stay and appreciated all the staff did to meet our family’s needs!
Judy Aug 9, 2025 02:01:52 PM
Summary: Great ambience! Classic old time elegance.
