"The hotel was built in 1904 and had great antiques but if we stayed there again, we'd request to be in the new building, the one you see the photo's of more modern furnishings."

I think its Victorian accents and proximity to dining options create a cozy, convenient base for exploring the area. If you appreciate vintage character, this could be the perfect spot.”
