A lot of character (high ceilings, solid wood) and the owners have clearly put in a lot of care and nice touches (like two lights in the bathroom--one full bright and a dim one for when it's 3:00 am and you don't want to jolt yourself awake!).

Great stay. Easy online check-in. No door key is nice. Easy parking close by. Great location. Very clean except the floor in the main bedroom needed cleaning. No coffee or tea in room is a little bit of a bummer. However, we would definitely stay again.
