Breakfast was simple, there were no changes during our stay, but there was enough that we felt satisfied. The laundry facilities were clean and always available. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, so close to downtown and some great restaurants. I would absolutely boom there again."

"If you like beautiful, old, elegant hotels this is the place for you. Great, big wooden, bar that also serves as the breakfast bar. Breakfast was good with the usual fare. It was clean and updated with a little character here and there. Very close to the village and ample parking during the week. Our room was small but fine for a short stay."

"Very convenient location to downtown. There was a lot of construction happening at the site so the parking lot and surroundings were not as nice as they could have been however they are making improvements so it is understandable. The price was reasonable and the accommodations were more than adequate. Also a good diner walking distance across the street."
