Anonymous, May 2017
Pros (+) The room was beautiful and well maintained. The hotel looked brand new, but from the late 1800s.
Cons (-) The elevator was also from the late 1800s and was barely big enough for two and luggage.

Beth, Dec 2016
Pros (+) Room was clean, old time feel, good room luxuries. Could have used a mini fridge in the room. Great location for the train and all the shops and restaurants in town.
Cons (-) No breakfast, or should I say super Small breakfast. Saw granola and yogurt and cereal, saddest hotel breakfast I've had in a long time.
