Ohh we love our room with scenery. The room was clean and warm. We loved morning breakfast specially made for us as we are vegetarian. Ample amount of parking spaces were available and we used Citi bus which was free and to and fro from hotel to downtown.

Nostalgic! Very clean. Remodeled. Small family run. Just like the places I stayed as a kid! Trolley stops directly in front of hotel! And has a wonderful restaurant just across the street! No frills. Old school. Love it!
