Inn is in an old historic building with modern conveniences like renovated rooms and nice bedding. Lots of places outside to sit and enjoy all the neighborhood trees and flowers. Walkable to downtown shops, restaurants and bars. Be sure to stay when there's a concert at the Fremont Theatre. No parking, street or garage.

Unfortunately despite the price tag competing with 4 and 5 star hotels the property was run down and old with a malfunctioning sink that did NOT drain and a very old bed that caused all kinds of neck and back pain; the shower curtain was coming off the wall, and the patio furniture was filthy dirty and unusable

The Inn is so cute and the rooms very clean but beware, I booked a room with a fireplace option and the fireplace did not work. So call before you book if you want a room with a working fireplace. The staff was excellent and the breakfast in the morning was great.

Upsides: this is a very charming small hotel. Similar to a bed and by, in a great location. Large comfortable rooms. The downsides: a little noisy, we could hear other guests through the walls. We had a hard timer getting hot water. Especially in The shower.
