“The structure itself, a thoughtfully renovated historic building, offers a distinct sense of place that a typical hotel can't replicate, and I found its proximity to downtown dining and galleries particularly convenient. Inside, the rooms truly impress with their comfort, especially the cozy fireplace and the indulgence of a hot tub bathtub, making the climb worthwhile. It strikes me as a place where personal touches, like provided snacks, elevate the stay into something genuinely enjoyable.”
