My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at this historic hotel. The building is beautifully maintained with lovely antique furniture throughout. We ate breakfast twice during our stay and both times the food was delicious and the portions were generous. The location is convieniently located within walking distance of several areas of interest. The staff was friendly and helpful. The chocolate chip cookies that were delivered to our door each night was a nice touch. My only complaint is that there was very little empty surface space in the Iris room to place belongings. A small table with nothing on it would be a welcome addition.
