I wanted to love this boutique hotel. We arrived after dark and found street parking right outside the front door. The hotel is a converted bank which is cool. The lobby restaurant smelled amazing when we walked in and was pretty full! The queen bed was pretty much all that fit in the room. We couldn’t find the thermostat because it was placed behind the sliding bathroom door so we had to call the front desk (which we did from our phone because the room phone said that # had been disconnected)! The shower was extremely small. We wanted to love the room but it was too small for me and my 10 year old son to move around without having to get out of each others way. Not sure if all the rooms are this small or not but 201 is!

Amazing stay! We grabbed dinner at the restaurant downstairs because it was convenient, and wow, amazing!! Staff was great. Saw other reviews saying the rooms were “small” but didn’t find that to be the case. Super clean, and comfortable bed. Loved the history and build of the hotel. Will definitely be staying there again if we are anywhere in the area. Only negative had nothing to do with the hotel. Woke up to sirens a couple of times…. Again, nothing to do with the hotel. Highly recommend!! (hotel and restaurant)

The hotel was charming. The downtown area lacked the tourist attractions that would have made for a better experience. Not many people in the area and not many businesses to attract visitors.

This property is beautiful! The rooms are very nicely updated as well. The staff are helpful and the food and service was good. The only issue is the hvac in at least two of the rooms is very loud. We complained and they gave us a room where it was a little quieter but still very loud. If it weren’t for the hvac we would want to go back for a special occasion because the property is that nice.

I was worried when I walked into the lobby. It smelled a little funny and was small and uninviting but it was actually a really nice hotel. I thought the guest room was great and beautifully done.
