This hotel was a great find, it’s charming and in a great location. We were able to park in one of the seven spots behin
Pros:

Very attentive staff. Continental Breakfast and free glass of wine each night were great.

Cons:

As these rooms are old not much thought was given to changing stations. I had to leave my phone and watch on the floor by the bed to charge them. Also no electric coffee pot in the room. Only a tea pot for boiling water (also had to be placed on the floor to plug in) and instant coffee.

Fresh Trendy Hotel in the Center of Town
Pros:

Great location and nicely appointed rooms with a quiet heating system. Rooms were fresh and seemed recently updated. Service was excellent. There is a nice, small bar onsite and they also offer a continental breakfast with tasty baked goods. Beware of the TV system, it is not easy to navigate; just ask for help. Free parking was avaialbe.

Pros:

Exceptional staff. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Location was great. Customized room key codes.

Cons:

Some of the fixtures in the bathroom needed some upkeep. Ventilation in bathroom was poor, and everything fogged up as soon as the shower started. Mattress was too soft for my liking.
