Recognizing it’s an older property and while it’s very unique and appealing, there were some quirks: Very tiny bathroom, not that great king mattress (felt a little soft and uneven), seating in room only ok. The positives: Walk-ability, seating and use of inn outside of room, nice breakfast with adequate seating for the time we visited, parking plentiful and safe for time we visited.

Pleasant staff, decent breakfast, attractive and spacious room. The only downside was an old elevator which had a mind of its own.
