First time staying at this inn and had a great experience. I found this historical property to be a cool and unique inn located in an optimal location for walking around downtown. The staff were friendly and provided exceptional service. The evening wine and cheese and morning breakfast included with the stay made for an even more memorable experience. Looking forward to staying here again!
