Hotel with an ideal location and sense of history.

Location was ideal and folks working there were very helpful. Continental breakfast was very good. Water was turned off for repairs in middle of a shower without warning from the office. Phone to lobby/registration area did not work and hotel dinning room was very experience for an ok sort of meal.

Florence

Staff was great and breakfast wonderful! Hotel had a problem with a/c, rooms were hot. We changed rooms which was better but still hot. Great location and room was very nice! Would stay again, but in the spring or fall.

Traveler's tip

We could walk anywhere, no need for a car. Markets were great and good price if you haggle.
