Such a quaint historic hotel! Beautifully remodeled yet still holds the charm of the original hotel but with added amenities! Loved the courtyard and tap room. Lovely area to relax after a long day of traveling. Chef inspired restaurants are in the courtyard as well! Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time there.

The hotel is nicely maintained. Kimberly checked us in and was very friendly. The room was clean and no issues with our stay. It would be nice to have a luggage cart as the parking is off to one side of the hotel and we had to make several trips. Walking trails nearby and very close to old town.
