A lovely boutique hotel that is located close to many downtown amenities - it feels like a little piece of a metropolitan getaway. The room was beautifully appointed and very comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

Interesting property with a lot of charm and history. Very different from a sterile chain hotel. Room was clean and comfortable with some nice amenities in terms of snacks and beverages. Dinner at the restaurant was very good. I would recommend this place to others and would definitely stay here again.
