"We loved our stay. A great location. My husband and I traveled with my in laws (aged 83 and 86) and the accessibility was great. We loved it being above a tavern and speakeasy. The linens on the beds and the beds themselves were super comfortable for a great night sleep. We highly recommend!"

10/10 Excellent
"Staff did a great job greeting us, providing parking directions, restaurant suggestions. Free breakfast had a great selection of hot and cold options. Hotel is under construction, so restaurant and pool were closed. Also room was run down, very weak water pressure in shower and toilet made weird noises after flushing, I'm sure these things will be addressed in the renovation."
