There were so many missed opportunities to make the room comfortable here. The mattress was so soft we woke up with back pain (we are not that old), the pillows were awful, the towels were tiny, the mirror over the sink was set too low to see your face (try shaving with no mirror!), and the sink was too small for the chest it was placed in. The only way to get to our room was a flight of steep stairs - carrying luggage, this was not fun. The historic building is lovely, and the people were great, but it was just an uncomfortable room.

Unfortunately despite the price tag competing with 4 and 5 star hotels the property was run down and old with a malfunctioning sink that did NOT drain and a very old bed that caused all kinds of neck and back pain; the shower curtain was coming off the wall, and the patio furniture was filthy dirty and unusable

Inn is in an old historic building with modern conveniences like renovated rooms and nice bedding. Lots of places outside to sit and enjoy all the neighborhood trees and flowers. Walkable to downtown shops, restaurants and bars. Be sure to stay when there's a concert at the Fremont Theatre. No parking, street or garage.
