We stayed in Room 18. On the positive side, the room is very big, clean, and has a great view. Breakfast was also good. However, the cold weather made our stay quite uncomfortable. The room is too large for a single portable heater to make a difference, and the shower water was only warm, not hot. We reached out to the front desk, but they had no extra heaters available. They lit the fireplace for us, but the fire burned out in about 15 minutes due to the wood quality. The staff tested the shower and said it was fine, but it was definitely not warm enough for a cold day. Good potential, but wouldn't recommend during winter/cold months until they fix the heating issues.

Great little hotel! The breakfast was perfect! Upstairs neighbors were loud and the hotel is a little ways away from everything which requieres a lot of walking to everything but on the upside less noisy than the center.
