Pros:

Very clean and obviously well kept hotel
Very friendly and knowledgeable receptionist

Cons:

Breakfast although adequate was disappointing
Other hotels we have stayed I with similar prices and facilities have all provided a better selection and cooked breakfasts
However this did not affect my/our liking of the hotel

Pros:

Great location in a renovated, historic building. Roomy. Coffee maker in room.

Cons:

Needs a good, deep clean throughout. Feels tired in main area. BF was quite basic and all was plastic wrapped, stale, but nice selection of fruit. Would be nice to have fridge in room.

Could not recommend would not stay again.
Pros:

Staff

Cons:

Restaurant was closed. Lobby smelled horrible, that was our first impression should have been the best instead was putride. Room appeared much larger on the website, found that to be a little deceiving. Room carpet needs replaced cleaning wouldn't be an option just so worn out and dirty.

We were not able to stay at this hotel because it.was not compliant with the Americans of disability
Pros:

Not a thing

Cons:

The property is definitely not ADA compliant. My husband and I are both handicapped. Walking from the parking lot over cobblestones and gravel and dirt was very difficult. Handicap parking was only available on the side of the building and did not accommodate a vehicle of our size. The front desk man was less than helpful. We never stayed at the hotel. It wasn’t conducive to anyone with physical limitations.
