Lovely historical hotel. Beautifully restored with many original details but also nicely appointed with modern conveniences. For example, large newly renovated bathroom and great wifi. It is rare to find a historical hotel that retains its vintage charm with such well done modern updates. Additionally, all staff we had contact with were incredibly welcoming, professional & a pleasure to chat with.

The room was great, clean and had beautiful wood vaulted ceilings. I loved the historic charm but it had nice upgraded features in the bathroom. The glass french doors opened to let fresh air in. Felt very safe and secluded almost.
