GREAT EXPERIENCE. CONVENIENT LOCATION & COMFORTABLE.
Pros:

Everything went very smoothly. Easy check-in and check-out. Enjoyed the complementary happy hour wine. Great experience. Convenient location & comfortable. Staff was above & beyond. Room was very comfortable though guests need to appreciate a dated, comfort standard. This is an interesting property with lots of history to embrace.

The inn was unique and the location was great. The staff were all very nice and helpful. The food was very good.

Cons:

Parking was expensive and not easy to find. They have an agreement with a parking garage a few blocks away but we never did get that discount.
