This hotel is a hidden gem filled with old world vibes and clean comfortable rooms. I was truly surprised by the spacious room and well thought out amenities in the room. The availability of easily accessible onsite parking at a reasonable rate was an added bonus to my stay as I was in and out of the hotel at odd hours. I will definitely be staying here on any future trips to the area.

Room was large, clean and bed was good. Pillows just OK. Sink didn’t drain very well. Problem was parking. We arrived later, around 7 PM and was told that the lot was full and we had to park on the street. It was snowing slippery and literally no street parking available. My wife told the person at the desk that we wanted our money back and we were leaving. He finally admitted there were a 1-2 places left in the lot and by the time I got to the lot it was the last open spot. When I reserved the room I was told that I could not pre-reserve a parking spot. The only way I would stay here again was if I could get to the hotel by 3-4 PM for a parking spot and take Ubers around town. It was nice having the restaurant attached ( music was way too loud at breakfast however).
