Charming inn, close to the square
Great, walkable location! Quick, responsive communication from guest services when we had questions. They were low-key and easy, but quick to offer any assistance or housekeeping if needed. The room was clean and comfortable. We would stay here again.

Historic charm close to downtown
This beautiful old home appears to have undergone a few remodels. Overall, the house and our room was wonderful. The location was great—walkable to restaurants, bars, shopping, and coffee shops. There were so many little things about this place that could have been easily fixed to make it a 5 star stay. It’s a bit of a hodge podge due to remodels in different eras. Painting is a bit sloppy and left on bathroom fixtures. New windows with the stickers still on them. A window that sticks open. Low lighting and lack of mirrors. But the beauty and charm far outweighs all those little things.

Lovely Place
Loved the decor, boutique details, cleanliness, and walkability to eateries and shops! Did not like that our west facing room was a bit warmer or the big, hard pillows.
