Beautifully remodeled and clean! Comfortable bed and nice cool room with new carpet. Could use a little more counter space in the bathrooms but both bathroom and bedroom were very neat and clean. I would definitely recommend anyone in the area to stay here. Sarah is amazing, as well!!

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because the room we were supposed to have wasn’t cleaned when we checked in, and we got moved to another room that didn’t have windows. The room was very nice though. Nice bed, good pillows, nicely renovated, with the softest clean carpet.

Modern, New Room in a Remodeled 19th Century Hotel

Very clean, recently remodeled and up-to-date hotel with 19th century architectural charm still present throughout the building. Softest carpet I've walked on! Very nicely appointed. Room appeared to be as close to brand-new as you can get. Comfy bed - slept very well. We arrived later after the front desk was unstaffed. We used our smart phone to unlock the room, but the process isn't totally intuitive. Be patient for the first time trying. It will help to install the YourKey app on your phone a few minutes before arriving at the hotel to allow time for the app to synch up with your online reservation. After opening the door once, it works flawlessly thereafter.
