Overall a great experience with the room pleasantly large and comfortable. Hot breakfast selected from a well thought out menu was wonderful and access to treats, coffee and tea and added bonus. Perfectly situated for walking. Parking was a little tight one night but manageable. We stayed five nights and requested fresh towels and linen service that morning but to no avail - we get it as that appears to be the lodging trend these days but nonetheless we're disappointed. That was really the only hiccup.

Charming OLD home and carriage house. Bathroom could have used a refresher. The shower head and toilet mechanicals were not working properly. We were in the carriage house. It was clean, staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast very good. Plenty of coffee, water and tea and snacks and fruit any time. The location was great!!! Across from the college and central to walk to popular sites, restaurants and shopping. Seemed to be a safe area.

Great location. The Inn was very cute and quaint. It is historic and a bit dated, but that's what gives the place charm. Everyone is very polite and courteous.

I spent a weekend with my girlfriend there and we loved the place. Very charming, very clean, excellent service and very sweet staff. Prime location; everything was in walking distance. The only downside was our bed: way too small for two people who aren’t planning on spooning at night.
