When we arrived, we noticed the room faced the street so was noisy, however, staff was accommodating and moved us to a less noisy location although didn't have the same type of room available. Breakfast was great, good selection with friendly staff. Excellent location!

Beautiful location and a quaint boutique hotel. The only con was the TV wasn’t working even after resetting and had very few channels and there is no internal kiosk for emergency needs such as pain medication. Otherwise, a beautiful and peaceful place with nice staff.
